Historically speaking, playoff teams that do not finish the regular season as district champion and have 3 or more regular season losses have a very small chance of making a deep playoff run.  Back in 1993, the FHSAA started to allow a lot more teams to make the playoffs.  The data below shows that the vast majority of these "additional" playoff teams have not fared well.  There are some limited exceptions.  It makes one wonder if adding some of these additional playoff teams was really worth it
