    I understand what you're saying, but I'd rather reward a team for winning their district (however small and/or bad that district may be) than reward a team for being in a larger/tougher district, but not winning it.    At the end of the day, the cream usually rises to the top.   If the district runner-up is that much better than the near-by district winner, it won't matter that they're playing on the road -- they'll still win.  Just my POV. 

    I don't necessarily disagree with you except in rare situations that the fhsaa can't do better an put people in small districts.  Look at my volleyball example that just happened.  That's horrible.

    No they changed it this year badbird 

     

    District champs would host a wild card round 1 if seeded against them but it's possible for 2 district champs to be seeded against each other 

     

    For example say Dillard is #2 in region, they face #7 seed, if that #7 seed in round 1 is a district champ they would travel, If it's a wild card then Dillard would host 

     

    So if Ely was the #7 seed but district champ they would travel round 1 but after round 1 it's highest seed overall hosting

     

    If they get wild card Piper at #7 for example than Dillard would host Piper round 1

    (a) Playoff field will be made up of 32 teams in each class. (b) 8 Qualifiers in each region. 4 District champions and 4 at large qualifiers. Teams will be seeded 1-8 based on the final FHSAA Power Rankings. (c) Higher seed will always host in regional tournament.

    This is from FHSAA rules and that says higher seed will always host

    Not me.  District champs deserve to host the first game.  I'm even more convinced of that opinion now that I'm seeing the FHSAA power rankings.  

    If they had large districts I would agree but some team winning a crappy 2-3 team district doesn't deserve to host just because they got put into a 2-3 team district.  The system sucks always has always will and its getting worse not better.

    So looking at volleyball they did the same thing.  They have some district champs as lower seeds than the runner ups.  For example Hagerty beat Winter Park in the district finals but Winter Park is the 2 seed and Hagerty has to travel to them as the 3 seed.  I see this probably happening in football also.

    I've seen otherwise that champs are only guaranteed a playoff birth but not guaranteed a top 4 seed

    Just read through the handbook and teams are seeded based on their season ending ranking. District champs are just guaranteed a playoff spot. 

    you are correct.  They changed it.  I actually like the change even though the rankings suck

    So if that is correct & Dillard win out tonight & next week. We can host a first round playoff game even as district runner up ?? 

    no

     

    district champs are seeded 1-4,  you most likely will be the 5 seed and play the worst district champ (Plantation, Piper or Atlantic) then play STA in round 2.  Might be best for you to lose a few more and get a 6 or 7 seed lol

  24. FHSAA mystery system is a joke

    Yeah let's reward teams in crappy 3 team districts and have over half the schedule completely meaningless

     

    May as well INTENTIONALLY lose any non district game because winning those games don't mean a damn thing

     

    And you act like you want to reward competition but only want a few games to count? Great hypocrisy there!

    I agree but I'm not sure this one does much much better.  It just keeps 1-9, 2-8 teams out.  It allows shitty teams with inflated records playing other shitty teams to get in.
