Not taking sides here, but I believe there's only 48 or so public teams still alive in all classifications combined in the entire state. Additionally, a large percentage of these are from middle or west TN. For example, Fulton played a few 6A teams this year, but there are only two east Tn 6A teams still left in the playoffs, Maryville and Sevier Co. Fulton may not have played the toughest schedule, but your angle might not be the best way to prove it
