Here are my power numbers for Regional Strength and Parity by Class for the playoffs. Note- This has nothing to do with who the favorites should be. Rather top to bottom average strength. And top to bottom parity. The lower the "parity" number, the better chance that the favorite for that region could be playing an unexpected team for the Regional Title.  Personally, I've had my eye on 6A Region 1 for the last several weeks. That could be interesting.  Class 1A Strength 1A Region 4    129.55 1A Region 3    128.58 1A Region 2    127.21 1A Region 1     122.78 Class 1A Parity 1A Region 1    8.2 1A Region 2    12.3 1A Region 3    12.4 1A Region 4    14.5   Class 2AStrength 2A Region 3    134.75 2A Region 2    132.82 2A Region 4    130.46 2A Region 1    128.24   Class 2A Parity 2A Region 4    7.0 2A Region 2    9.9 2A Region 1    10.4 2A Region 3    11.9   Class 3AStrength 3A Region 1    135.40 3A Region 2    134.96 3A Region 4    132.67 3A Region 3    125.39   Class 3A Parity 3A Region 2    6.3 3A Region 1    8.6 3A Region 3    9.6 3A Region 4    11.1   Class 4AStrength 4A Region 4    140.64 4A Region 2    138.23 4A Region 3    137.53 4A Region 1    135.41   Class 4A Parity 4A Region 4    5.98 4A Region 3    7.64 4A Region 2    8.79 4A Region 1    10.72   Class 5AStrength 5A Region 1    139.73 5A Region 4    139.23 5A Region 2    138.65 5A Region 3    128.11   Class 5A Parity 5A Region 1    5.0 5A Region 3    5.6 5A Region 4    7.8 5A Region 2    10.6   Class 6AStrength 6A Region 1    147.29 6A Region 3    139.01 6A Region 2    136.41 6A Region 4    132.57   Class 6A Parity 6A Region 1    4.2 6A Region 3    5.4 6A Region 2    7.9 6A Region 4    10.7   Class 7AStrength 7A Region 1    142.15 7A Region 2    138.52 7A Region 3    137.42 7A Region 4    129.61   Class 7A Parity 7A Region 3    4.45 7A Region 1     4.48 7A Region 4    5.2 7A Region 2    9.3  

I know ultimately it came down to the ruling by the judge presiding the case, but in fact the FHSAA still had to stand and fight for their correct decision. 

Looking around the area, I see Bradenton Southeast finished 8-2 but didn't make the playoffs.  I see River Ridge finished 7-3 and didn't make the playoffs.  Neither are in the FIT either.  Me personally,  I'd rather see a bowl game with a match-up between 2 teams like this than some tournament that puts a 1 win team in.   Also why I'd rather have a 12 game regular season with fewer teams making the playoffs, but with bowl games for everyone else. Like college football does.
