"Once the 24 teams have been selected in the Class 1A and 2A playoffs, the teams will be geographically grouped

into four six-team quadrants. Once the 32 teams have been selected in the Class 3A, 4A, 5A, and 6A playoffs, the

teams will be geographically grouped into four eight-team quadrants. This grouping will be done without regard to

district/region alignments.

Seeding for the quadrants will be based exclusively on how the teams are ranked in the standings for each

classification. No priority is given to district/region champions or runners up."

 

This is from the tssaa site. Dang...they've changed it again. I don't know if this is good or bad.

 

What if a team finishes ahead of another team in their district(1st and 2nd)...and the 2nd place team has a better record? Are they seeded ahead of the 1st place team? If so...why even have districts?

 

So people can hang banners sayin', "DISTRICT 6A FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS 2010".

 

Seriously, ya need some kind o' organization to the reglar season. Imagine tryin' to put together a schedule for the season, if it was a free-for-all.

Man - I had to go and read it myself. I am SHOCKED!!! Let's look at my teams situation. I'm from Milan and we lost to Martin Westview by 1 earlier in the season. Now this is our only loss to date and there is a chance we could win out. The way I read the above statement could mean that Westview could have to play in Milan during the playoffs. Don't get me wrong, I would love to play that game at Johnnie Hale but it would seem to me that Westview earned the right to play at home with the win over us in the regular season. I know Westview has more losses than us but they have all been out of district. Thoughts?

I don't see how they can do that...but hey...that's what it says. It may be like the seedings last year. York was farther east than Bledsoe. How they decided to put them in the mid-east quad is beyond me. If you look at the quads as they stand now...they have done the same thing. It was east to west the year before. They just decided to change it with no guidelines. I wouldn't be surprised if they change the format again. Ridiculous

I think I get what they're saying, 1 and 2s qualify for sure but they're not seeded any greater or less by being a 1 or 2. Right?

 

I'm not positive the TSSAA is putting out accurate info. Their #2 label, just past total wins, is "Teams played that won 50% or more of their games".

 

Bledsoe has a 5 in this column, so the way I understand it they're saying Bledsoe has played 5 teams that have won 50 percent or more of their games. This isn't to get on Bledsoe, they're just the second team I looked at in the list.

 

Bledsoe's opponents have been 4-2 Coalfield, 3-3 Sequatchie, other than that the rest-Marion, Chattanooga Grace, Notre Dame, Midway, have losing records. Am I missing something here? If it's wrong on the second team I looked at, how many others are wrong?

First question; yer right?

 

Second question; Column 2 looks at yer whole schedule, even games not played yet. In Column 3, "Victories over teams winning 50% or more of their games", ya don't git a point here 'til ya actually have a win. Also, notice that Column 1 is misleadin', 'cause some teams haven't had a bye week yet. That's the only reason Signal is at the top of the 2A seeding, otherwise, we'd be fourth.

 

All of these numbers will change every week, that't why ya can't git too worked up 'bout it right now.

 

The Troll thinks the most interestin' thing 'bout all this is watchin' how them fellers in NashVegas draws the quads each week. We can learn alot 'bout how them fellers think. The Troll sez, when they say they draw the quads based on "geography", they's really lookin' at travel time. They start in the NE and SW with quads 1 and 4. Gotta git 6 or 8 (dependin' on Class). Then they divvy up the middle o' the state into quads 2 and 3. Look at the 2A map. They needed a 6th team fer quad 1, so they pulled Grace out o' Chattanooga. Figger Grace travels north in round 1, gits whupped, then they'r out. No 'fence to Grace.

 

The ole MountainTroll's got it figgered out for you'uns.

 

And.....that's why I sez, The hosin' starts with the "Drawin' o' Quads".

Ok folks, new question for the playoff minds, in 3A, 4A, 5A and 6A, you got 4 quadrants, 8 teams each, is the format Quadrant 1 vs Quadrant 2 or would teams in Qaudrant 1 play each other etc..?

Each quad will have its own little 8 team playoff. Then the winners of each quad will play each other.

OK, thanks, but got one more question, does either the 1 and 2 seed get first round byes?

Thats only in 1a 2a playoffs...3a and up go 1seed vs. 8seed, 2seed vs. 7seed, etc.

Is there a rule that says a team must be .500 to make the playoffs? Could a 4-6 team make it?

Yes a 4-6 or even a 3-7 team could make it.
