What a joke

[davidlimbaugh]

Other than Cannon County who is 3-a or 4-a and maybe Spring Hill (4-a?) I don't see why LaVergne would schedule those other teams, especially Red Boiling Springs. A game vs. nearby Cannon County would be a good draw geographically as would a game vs. Ezell-Harding. In the past handful of years, LaVergne has wins over Hendersonville, Franklin County (twice), Centennial (twice), Columbia (twice) and @ Cookeville (playoffs). Your Red Boiling Springs comment is out of line.

 

 

No it wasn't. I am exaggerating to make a point. LOL!!!!

[MidTennFootball]

What if you can't find anyone else in that caliber that wants to play?

 

Were bout to find out. Bc alot of the power programs are either going to have to play down a class or two, or go to a different section of the state, or out of state altogether.

[onefortheteam]

Trust me, they've figured it out.

 

 

The solution is, your record against same class or higher (or equivalent if playing out of state competition) should count. Or a BCS type format

 

A BSC format? Something that already is hated and subjective. No, that would be a huge mistake. It would become a popularity contest, biased against the new, upcoming or rural programs.

[lowkee]

I can clear up this whole thread. Crazy Cowboy or whoever started this did not do his research. I spoke to an assistant principal at Brighton today who helped make the schedules. He said that originally Brighton and Collierville had agreed to play. The contracts were signed and everything was a go. Then the TSSAA realigned the districts, forcing Collierville to play a district game that night. So Brighton only had nine games late in the scheduling period. MAHS called Brighton wanting to play!!! The coach said they were trying to start a new program and they needed the money and the experience, so the teams agreed to play. Brighton was trying to schedule a 6A opponent. As a matter a fact a school quite larger than themselves. So to avoid having nine games, Brighton agreed to play MAHS. SO before everyone on here bashes someone, do your homework first. I have the schools phone number and the name of the administrator if you would like to call verify this story.

 

Also, the TSSAA put Brighton in an all 5A district. They were 6A by one student. TSSAA should have allowed them to play in 5A or moved them into the district with Millington, Arlington, Cordova, etc. Brighton is the only 6A school west of Jackson not in Shelby County.

Some one has done their homework, makes sense

[trojanswars365]

Brighton is the only 6a team in the district. So how can you punish them for not playing 6a teams? On top of that games are hard to find for them due to location. MAHS happened to be open two years ago so they signed a contract. That is how lots of smaller schools make money. Manassas did it for years. I don't see how its a joke. The starters came out at halftime. Big deal. Playoffs were not in consideration for playing this game, it was just used to have 10 games on the schedule.

 

Millington is 25 minutes down the road....Craigmont is 35-45 minutes away.

[SEVEN]

binns37388.....small colleges have to play those schools for the finical benefits. Tennessee Tech opened up this year with Arkansas and TCU, getting around 1 million for the two combined games.

 

And in that vein.....if everybody is going to start scheduling down, we'll come over to Rutherford Co. for a $25,000 arse whooping from any of you. I'm sure Creasy wouldn't mind at all! One thing is for sure, we'd bring the whole county for something like that! Seriously though, we've been contacted in the past (late '90's) by BA and MBA, and I know that Lassiter at Gallatin expressed interest this year, or at least brought it up in conversation. That being said...if the current playoff system stays in place, these types of games may be on the horizon.

 

davidlimbaugh....that R.B.S. comment was totally out of line! You should be ashamed of yourself! How've you been old buddy? I need to get over to the Reservation some time and take in a game. Never made it when Creasy was there. You know who I am, and if you don't, ask Bowers (I'm sure that just gave it away).

I know who you are - LOL!!! Hope you are doing well! I am at Smyrna this year spending some time with my principal, Mr. Raikes. We are at Riverdale Friday if ya want to come by and say hi!

 

Back to the topic at hand. Last year I recognized how inherently unfair the 'Z' system was and developed a non-poll, non-biased, non-subjective 'BCS' system to take scheduling and wins and losses into account.

 

Formula is easy! First, district champion is in and hosts first round.

 

After that...

 

If you win you get (100+opponents wins) + 20 for every higher class or

-20 for every lower class - i.e. a 6A team beating a 4A (5-5) team would get 100+5-(2*20) or 65

 

Win or lose you then get 5 times the number of wins of your opponent

and then get 2 times the number of wins of your opponent if they are

same class or higher.

 

Last year in 6A I had Smyrna (5-5) and Siegel (5-5) in and Coffee Co (3-7) and

Franklin Co (4-6) out

Now that is cool. I like objective, but it is too logical to use.

[Indian]

Now that is cool. I like objective, but it is too logical to use.

 

 

The AA/3A team here has 3 main rivals, in order they're AA/3A, A/1A and A/2A. Should they have to consider dropping those last two so their playoff chances wouldn't take a possible hit. The gate and fan interest would if it happened.

[raider99]

Now that is cool. I like objective, but it is too logical to use.

Good idea and Logical to use as only the best teams would get in but as we all know the TSSAA is not going to go for that, that means they would have to work!

[irecnso]

Because who wants to play Oakland or Riverdale, or Blackman, or Smyrna, when all it does is penalize them for doing it. Maybe the TSSAA gets lucky this off-season and finally gets it right, but I do not have much hope for that.

 

The T$$AA will probably expand the playoffs and make it worse. Its all about money and greed..Gotta be able to take those trips to conferences in California, etc. in the summer.

I have a question. What if you are the only 6a team in your district, and you can only play all 5a teams? Then what? Is this why Brighton had the lowest score in your formula?
