One option is to have football distrcts mirror all other sports districts with three regular season classes (a la z-plan) and then determine playoff placement like the old 5-class system did, with the top 4 teams making to the playoffs. Then the largest two playoff bound schools by enrollment go to the higher classification (6A if in an AAA district) with the other, smaller two playoff teams going to the 5A playoffs. A team will be preclassified into A, AA, or AAA by enrollment for the regular season, but would not know what post-season class they are in until the playoffs. Texas uses something like this already. This is not my personal favorite idea, nor one I would like to see, but some of you may like it.
