TSSAA Board of Control & Football Playoffs

[coachfoozeball]

Let's see I just read the article in the Tennessean about the "tweak" and it also listed a gross receipt for Blackman/Smyrna playoff game as approx $37,000. So half to T$$AA is approx 18,500 (I know this is gross and before expenses). So one game gets T$$AA 18,000. Now add in all the other games that night and on one Friday night the T$$AA is bringing in some cash!

 

Do you think they are going to change anything? Only "tweaks" will be done.

 

From Ronnie to Bernard nothing changes except the mighty dollar always wins out!

 

 

on another note: I was dissappointed to read that only 119 of the 300 schools turned in the survey that was sent. However, I bet that half of those that were not sent back were never delivered to a coach and sat in some principals email list.

One simple question...if you are ranking teams that finish 1 or 2 in the district first then all of the others are ranked, what happens when you have multiple district champions in the same quad and those two teams met in regular season? Don't tell me, you look at the computer ranks them!!! BCS don't work, Z plan don't work! Nfl works! Copy cat them!

From Twitter...

 

BOC voted to seed teams in the football playoffs that finish first and second place in their districts first, then seed remaining teams.

 

More info as it becomes available

I don't think this works either. 1st and 2nd place in district gets seeded 1st so a team like Coffee County was last year that was 3-7 and was 1st in their district will be seeded over a 3rd and 4th place team this past year in Oakland and Riverdale who were both 8-2.

 

Wasn't this the way it was a couple of years ago and they changed this so this would not be the case and now were changing it back. Don't change just for sake of making a change. Change to actually make it work. This DOES NOT WORK.

I say do away with the quads and seed teams 1-16 on both sides of the state in each class.

quad 4 same

 

overall who knows who would have made it to the 5A title game

 

anderson co at knox west would have been the quad 1 semi

 

columbia would go to cleveland and tullahoma

 

could northeast go to beech and gallatin and win

I say go to a system similar to Georgia's. Large regions, with sub regions an no crossover games throughout the season. Last week of regular season is a crossover of 1 v 1 2v 2 and so on. Winner of 1v1 is region champ, loser is #2 seed. In 2v2 of sub regions is #3 seed, loser is #4. You could go back to the old region system and have region 3 and 4, 1 and 2 battle for a region champ? Just an idea, anything is better than using a computer figure out who is the best.

Sounds like a good system...makes sense

If it makes sense then we know for sure that the T$$AA would never consider it
