Erballer5 Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Hey guys i have a few questions about how the seeding and teams that host games are determined. i am baffeled on how red bank is the only team that is undefeated in 4a (as far as i know) and they are the only team in the region that is hosting a first round game. i mean tyner finished secound in the region with their only region loss to the lions, and they are surrounded by 4a teams in this region being only 1 of two teams in 3a in this region. their losses came to red bank #1 in 4a, ooltewah #1 in 6a at the time, and baylor and mccallie who are both powers in the private school playoffs every year. this sounds like some bad politics in this selection. then there is east rigde who is the second seeded team in the region in the 4a classification. their only region lossses were to red bank and tyner, 1 an d2 in region, and out of region loss to bradley central another 6a team in the area. so how does east ridge not deserve to host a first round game? my main problem with this is because in the past the host teams were determined by how you finished in your region. 1 played host to 4 in opposing region and 2 played host to 3 in opposing region, then in turn 3 would travel to 2 in the opposing region and 4 would go to 1 in opposing region. i just wanna know how they figured that only the #1 seed in this region was deserving of a home playoff game. how exactly are they determining the seeds now. is it based solely on the state rankings??? a little help guys, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't applied the approved tie-break formula to either team but at a glance, I'd say Fulton has a stronger schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To many teams with poor records and others who have played really weak competition getting in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhoutsider Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 yea yea we all know Alcoa is the best team in the state..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harley04 Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Why play Alcoa like you would other teams, Tyner needs too get creative throw everything at them.If coaching staff would put thier heads together come up with schemes and trick plays theres nothing wrong with doing what it takes to beat a team with that much talent.This school has under 500 students and nearly 100 players do the math, and half of students are girls.
