The more I think of the current playoff seeding set up the less it makes sense

So on another florida high school football forum on Facebook me and few football bros was talking about the upcoming playoffs and the potential seedlings and matchups for each school if the playoffs were to start today.

and for example "4A REGION 4" if the playoffs started today 

#1 (4-3) American heritage Would Host #8 (3-5) Miami norland 

#3 (5-2) Archbishop McCarthy Would Host #6 (6-2) John Carroll Catholic 

#2 (7-0) Jensen Beach Would Host #7 (6-2)

#4 DILLARD (8-0) Would Host #5 (4-3) Plantation. 

Now what doesn't makes sense to us, is How in the world is a district winner not a automatic top 4 seed. And what's even crazier is how in the hell can a none district winner and dare I say a non district winner with a none winning district record be awarded a Top 4 seed.

for Example - Last year ALL 4 TEAMS from distrcit 4A-15 made it to the playoffs

American Heritage #1 seed (District champion (3-0) district play 

Plantation #3 Seed (1-2) District play 

Miami norland #2 Seed (2-1) District Play 

Archbishop McCarthy #6 Seed (1-2) Distrcit play. 

And before the point system and SOS warriors come out in full effect , this is rewarding bad football if ive ever seen it.

Number 1 there NEVER be 4 teams out of 1 distrcit making it to the playoffs, also if you did NOT win your district you should NOT be able to be a top 4 seed & host a round 1 playoff game when you didnt even have a winning record in your own division.

I get alot of folks were against terrible district champions making it in the playoffs and their were only 1 other team in the district, but in my opinion this new format is not the answer either. Its like the bad teams/none district champions are being rewarded for underachieving. 

So you lost your district, but because you scheduled tough outside of your district even tho you lost those games to youre rewarded a playoff birth, thats INSANITY.

That is the flaw of SOS, at least the way Max Preps **cough cough** does it.  That in itself is a contradiction to the entire strength of schedule argument because it appears to weigh that strength relative to the team.  It also raises the question of who is weighing these teams and how?  Whatever the formula is, they got it all wrong.  Just my opinion.

      2025 State Finals Observations

      By MarkECannon · Posted

      You can make an argument that the Metro /Suburban years were very comparable.  I may be a prisoner of the moment by saying they were the best.  One of my favorite board names is @imjustafan2 because I get into the X’s and the O’s but really I enjoy the whole experience of a high school game.   I really enjoyed the Cardinal Mooney game for reasons I included in my post.  I anticipated Bolles would make a strong comeback but it never materialized. Cardinal Newman upsets Chaminade.  That game wasn’t decided until it ended.     STA took it easy on Lakeland.  Awful game.   West Boca Raton destroys West Broward.  Pretty highly anticipated but was a dud. Raines with the upset of the year.     AHP/Jones game was competitive until late.  Jones made an entertaining comeback only to be squelched in the 4th quarter. Lake Mary/Vero Beach.  Say no more. So from my perspective it was at least one of the best.  I remember many years where you had maybe one competitive game.  If you were lucky you had 2.     From my viewpoint there were 2 historic upsets, the final game ended in a viral play that’s been shared all over the world, a game that was competitive until the 4th quarter, Cardinal Mooney (Sarasota team) and 2 games that were no contests.  So for me but not for others it was a great finals.

      Appreciate the breakdown by game, I would also like to read your thoughts on the venue. It was about as far south in the state that could hold the event, how was the turnout, how well did they manage the games, perking, ease of entry, concessions? What did you do between games? I have been to several final games in Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale and thought the year I went to games in Ft. Lauderdale were run better.

      MarkECannon, do you think the reason why Cardinal Mooney was able to pass the ball and find open receivers very effectively against the Bolles defense was because the line of scrimmage was dominant, and they were able to protect the passer and give him time to scan the field? Do you think that Lakeland needs to get more of a balanced offense to compete at the State Championship level? Thank you.

      Does that say anything about coaching to you?

      Ive already stated the out comes for the Vero and northwestern games went about like watching the NFL....(that not a good thing and for me alittle hard to believe the outcomes were organic) over all attendance was down from last year....for me its was just a Blah type finals.
