Not a fan.  The possible benefits do not outweigh, what to me might be the worst situation.  It seems like a knee-jerk reaction, that appears to satisfy an issue, but really can make no guarantees.
I wonder how many years of data they researched, past seasons at ALL levels?  Did they truly see that there were numerous years where reseeding might have prevented blowouts?  Is this true in over half of the classifications, or just the ones with a louder fan base?  Did they look at how many times a reseed would generate the type of travel that diminishes the overall experience for both teams?
Do we believe that the point system really does the best job of seeding teams?   It's supposed to be objective, but we've all seen the discrepancies.
I looked at 2019 3A #'s as a for instance.  Here some concerns with the RPI's determining a rank.
1.  Of the top 10 RPI's the four semi-finalists were ranked # 4, 6, 7 & 10.  In other words, the top 3 teams DID not even make it into the State Semi's.  Does that validate this system's ability to predict the best teams?  Or is it proof that the RPI #'s are still just an educated guess.  Do we restructure travel based on a guess?
2.  The overwhelmingly best team (Cham.-Mad) was a 4 seed.  So the system we are relying on to determine who these good teams are, proved it's worth by giving them a 4 seed?  Allow a "for instance" - the #1 seed, based on RPI, was Pensacola Catholic.  Let's say that the RPI #'s were on target, and that the top 4 teams all made the state semi's.  Then the team, we all know was the best in 3A (and maybe 4A, 5A, etc?), would have to travel 9.5 hours/659 miles to play the "1 seed."
3.  My biggest concern is that when these extra long travel times are generated, it will cause some real issues with the visiting team.  Money is tight for many families.  So IF they travel their expenditures will increase exponentially.  Gas, meals, hotels; plus a day off of work?  Will Auntie or Uncle Ted make the trip?  Will the student body travel - 17 year-old kids driving home 9.5 hours on a Friday?  The  elderly community that supports these kids all season?  The current system isn't perfect, but it does allow for the games to be relatively close.
I'm sorry, but I'd pump the brakes here.  I also like to remind myself that this is the FHSAA were talking about.  And I am usually skeptical that those folks do things well.  

Dude, this wasn't directed solely to you.   It was directed to anyone who thinks that a six-hour plus bus ride will not adversely affect a team's chances of success.   Columbia may be the world's best road warrior team in the history of high school football.   I don't know and I don't care.   But, in my view, more visiting teams are going to lose games in which they've traveled that far than they will win them.   And, in my mind, the RPI simply isn't accurate enough to reward one team with a home game and punish another team with a long road game.  And it certainly shouldn't be used to make a south Florida team travel to the panhandle (or vice versa) just in hopes of creating a 1 vs. 2 match-up in the finals based on the regular season power rankings. 
Just an opinion.   Everyone has one  . . . . just like a---, well, just like noses.

State lost a fine coach to retirement today.  Bill Kramer retired after 22 years as head coach at Naples High. Won a title in '01 (first in SW Florida) & '07, at a school that had two winning sessions in the previous 16 years. Sent lots of kids into better lives, many of which were able to play football at another level, with a few in the league still today. Put Christ first, and was humble enough to see his flaws. Great family man, who has been a tremendous mentor to many a coach.

Correct with Cocoa.  The other is Victory Christian.  
The only two schools in the state of Florida to play in a State semi-final game in each of the last 6 years (2013-2018).

I would like to announce the following: After careful consideration with my dog, I have decided to decommit from my wife.  I would like to thank her for all she has taught me about women, which will come in handy now that I am transferring my services to another woman who offers much greater "educational opportunities"   Please respect my decision and pray for me, because she gonna kill me when she finds out.
