Kentucky has 6 classes and approximately 32 teams in each class.  Every team makes the playoffs.    Below are the district standings for all of those teams.  And we think Florida is bad with one winless team making the playoffs.  Kentucky has 10!  Needless to say, they have some big blowouts in the first round.  31 of 93, or one-third of their first round games were decided by 40 or more points.

All teams also make the playoffs in Missouri and Indiana.  Each of those states had 17 winless teams in the playoffs this year, not to mention a bunch of 1-9 teams.

Maybe we should allow all teams in FL in the playoffs.  Seedings could all be determined by coin flips ( I got this idea from badbird)B).  Home field advantage could be determined by the amount of "effort points":rolleyes: accrued during the regular season (we could have an app and fans at each game could vote on effort observed).  In the case of a tie in effort points, the team with less transfers during the prior year would get home field advantage.  

Seriously folks, I don't ever remember hearing complaints of the "wrong" teams" getting in the playoffs when we had bigger districts and district champions/runners-up got in.  If we don't like bigger districts, we have to deal with the consequences of these decisions being made off the field. 

Happy Sunday all!

I still prefer rock paper scissors competition to determine seeding.  Each team send a team captain to Gainesville  and we could broadcast it on Sunday and make a TV event of it

They tried it many years ago but gave up when kids from certain counties couldn't grasp the concept that paper covers rock.

If all teams make the playoffs, why even bother to have a regular season? We can just start with the playoffs with seeding to be determined based on the prior year's form.

Reason we got small districts is some schools can't handle a little travel

Would be great for TV ratings. But I think more computer rankings should be used for the seeding. Would make for great TV too. You could project all of the data points, maybe have a showcase of the computer programs used, introduce the engineers who developed the computer program, interview them. All kids of things! And then maybe, if there's time, you could maybe even show some football.

...for comparison, below are the "numbers" for the opening round of playoffs in Missouri.  Results of the seedings were much more predictable there, ie 88% of higher seeds won versus 66% of higher seeds won in Florida.  Florida first round results are as follows:

  • Teams with the higher seed were 66-34. (Losers-#1(1), #2(4), #3(11), #4(18)) 
  • There were 12 shutouts out of 100 games.  
  • 1 of 18 #1 vs #8 matchups were within 14 points.

Missouri District openers by the numbers

  • Teams with the higher seed were 130-18
  • There were 28 shutouts out of 148 games (18.9 percent)
  • Only two No. 1 vs. No. 8 matchups were within 12 points 

No. 1 vs. No. 8 records (total score)

  • Class 1: 8-0 (374-67)
  • Class 2: 8-0 (501-40)
  • Class 3: 8-0 (330-33) *two forfeits
  • Class 4: 8-0 (421-75)
  • Class 5: Byes
  • Class 6: 4-0 (177-41)

No. 2 vs. No. 7 records (total score)

  • Class 1: 8-0 (371-120)
  • Class 2: 8-0 (381-96)
  • Class 3: 8-0 (432-90)
  • Class 4: 8-0 (379-122)
  • Class 5: Byes
  • Class 6: 3-1 (161-68)

No. 3 vs. No. 4 records (total score)

  • Class 1: 7-1 (321-174)
  • Class 2: 8-0 (334-59)
  • Class 3: 7-1 (281-110)
  • Class 4: 7-1 (310-110)
  • Class 5: 2-0 (79-28)
  • Class 6: 4-0 (144-37)

No. 4 vs. No. 5 records (total score)

  • Class 1: 5-3 (212-195)
