Play off bracket question


HuffyLegend

Recommended Posts

Once the bracket comes out next Sunday, do they stay fixed for the duration of the regional tournament? Or does the higher seed always play the lower seed, as each round occurs. Example - in the lower divisions, if the 6 seed beats the 3 seed, will the 1 seed play the 6 seed, or play the winner of the 4/5 game? The web site doesn't seem to cover this.

I think the bracket is fixed, but the higher (better) seed always hosts the lower seed.  In other words, there is absolutely no way in the world an 8 seed could host a regional tournament game and could only host a final four game if they happened to be matched up with an 8 seed winner from another region that happens to have a lower RPI.

Technically they don't have to be a higher seed in final 4 to host

 

 

It can be a 8 seed vs a 4 seed in final 4 but if 8 seed had higher RPI then they would host the 4 seed

    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy

    • Just wait till spring is over and the top RB in the area will take his talent to 1 Indian Ave.
