TSSAA Playoff Mess- MUST READ!!!

[Gerry Bertier]

ANOTHER QUESTION,,,,,Once the bracket is announced for a quad, is it fixed,?

 

In the scenario below, would Alcoa play the winner of GP and Sullivan N. in round two, no matter what? or would they get the worst seed remaining for round two? (Like the NFL does after their wildcard round)

Like if West Greene upset AE, or Cumbelrand Gap upset Elizabethton?

 

anybody know?

 

Quad 1

 

1. Alcoa- # 1 in district

8. Johnson Co.- WC

 

4.Gatlinburg Pittman # 2 in district

5. Sullivan North # 2 in district

 

3. Austin East- # 1 in district

6. West Greene- # 3 in district

 

2. Elizabethon # 1 in district

7. Cumberland Gap- WC

 

 

I have no clue. Seems like the TSSAA will do what it wants.

I laugh everytime I see Alcoa and A-E in the East quad!! I'll probably blow a gasket if it really turns out that way!

 

 

 

 

 

I told GVK that one band burger was enough, but would he listen, nooooooooo. Now look at him!

Gerry - 1st of all - Love you work and thanks for this info. How would it be possible if the playoffs where today for Manassas to be a #1 seed with a 8-1 record and Milan to be #2 seed with 9-0 record? I just don't see how that could happen......any insight?

 

Cause right now Milan is technically 2nd in their district behind Crockett and Manassas is first in their district. Now say Milan wins on Friday and Manassas wins. Since they are both # 1 in their district Milan would win the overall wins tiebreaker. You are seeded based on where you finish in your DISTRICT not subdivision. Which stinks for some teams.

 

I bet Westview is liking the looks of this mess if it works out for them. I could see them easily riding to the 3rd Round.

I feel pretty confident that the teams will only be seeded one time. After that, the bracket will play out just like it is shown. This is the way it was last year in 2A and that was the model for this system I believe.

[WrestleRed]

The four loss team you follow wouldn't be Fairview, would it? This new scenario has the Yellowjackets travelling to Camden in the first round. Is this the playoff mess you have a problem with? You guys beat them in the playoffs last year... just do it again.

The four losses to the 4A teams should have you guys better prepared for the playoffs anyway. Good luck to Fairview regardless of how the seeding turns out.

 

It has came to my attention we have all misinterpreted the TSSAA playoff system. Basically this is how teams will be seeded.

 

Here is an example:

Lets say that in the 8 team quad there are three teams that finished in first place in their district, 2 teams that finished 2nd, one team that finished 4th and one team that finished 5th. There is also a wild card team.

 

The seeing would go like this:

 

Take the three #1 teams: Make a determination to see if they all played each other. If not then look at their overall records, if there is still a tie look to see how many victories each had over a team winning 50% of their games or more. If still tied there are 14 other tie breaking steps.

 

When the tie is broken these teams will be the #1, #2 and #3 seeds. Then look at the #2 teams and apply the same criteria. That will give you the #4 and #5 teams. The #6 team will be the team that finished in 4th in their district and the #7 team will be the team that finished 5th in their district. The wild card team is always seeded last so in this case they would be seeded 8th.

 

ITS NOT RIGHT. But it's the TSSAA and they will do what they want to do. I think it is a major screw job. Teams SHOULD be rewarded for being the top team in their subdivision. Teams should not be rewarded for playing in a 5 team district while others play in an 8 or 9 team one.

 

 

So here is what the playoffs would look like if they started today.

 

Quad 1

 

1. Alcoa- # 1 in district

8. Johnson Co.- WC

 

4.Gatlinburg Pittman # 2 in district

5. Sullivan North # 2 in district

 

3. Austin East- # 1 in district

6. West Greene- # 3 in district

 

2. Elizabethon # 1 in district

7. Cumberland Gap- WC

 

Quad 2

 

1. Polk Co.- # 1 in district

8. Kingston

 

4. McMinn Central- # 2 in district

5. Tyner- # 2 in district

 

3. CAK- # 2 in district

7. York- WC

 

2. Bledsoe Co.- # 1 in district

6. Loudon- WC

 

Quad 3

 

1. Smith Co.- # 1 in district

8. Harpeth- WC

 

4. Cannon Co.- # 3 in district

5. Pearl Cohn- # 5 in district

 

3. Sequatchie County- # 2 in district

6. East Literature- WC

 

2. Goodpasture- # 1 in district

7. Grundy Co.- WC

 

Quad 4

 

1. Manassas- # 1 in district

8. Westview- WC

 

4. Stewart Co.# 3 in district

5. BTW # 3 in district

 

3. Camden- # 2 in district

6. Fairview- # 4 in district

 

2. Milan # 2 in district

7. Lewis Co. # 5 in district

 

Coach Whitefield, why do you get on this board? I thought you took your losing ways over to Centennial, where you will sit in the stands and watch play-off teams.

 

Your work is done here. Although you claim to care about the juniors and seniors you left a district where Fairview would have been 9-1 and a #1 seed, just because you knew you were fired. Now you are trying to stir up more trouble. I hope that administration at Centennial knows about this....

Gerry one more queston about the Owls of Smith County:

 

What would happen to them in the Quad if they go and lose to York on Friday how would that shake it up?

[ColumbiaBlueNScarlet]

I know how some of you guys feel about having the deck stacked against you. CAK has been knocked out of the playoffs in the 2nd round by Alcoa the last 3 years. I'll be honest: I just like the idea of someone else possibly getting to play Alcoa in the second round besides CAK if we get past the first round of course!

 

Hey, Columbiablue can't wait to run over Alcoa. Send them over there.

 

I look forward to a possible matchup with Alcoa, but I never said anything about running over Alcoa. Austin-East vs Alcoa would be a good game... I'll call a winner when and if it happens.

I admit a lame attempt at humor. Never-the-less, I'm still willing to send Alcoa to your quad. Consider it an early Christmas gift for someone who is anxious to play them.

I'm interested to see how the quads will shape up.

I probably won't be able to sleep Friday night. I'll be interested to see Gerry's predictions a couple of hours after the scores come in.

Just out of curiosity why would Alcoa be in a different quadrant than CAK and Loudon?
