Super 6A playoffs 0-10 vs 10-0

[mjuhb]

Let's just say Lebanon is 0-10 and Whitehaven 10-0. What happens or what sanctions would go against a 0-10 team for forfeiting.

I'm not sure I would waste resources in travel for a game like this. If I were a school board member I would have to ask if it's being a good steward of county finances to attend such an event. That's a good question what kind of trouble would a team get into for doing something like that?

This just shows how idiotic this plan is.  Imagine this ballgame for next year.  Bearden 0-10  travels to Maryville 10-0.  When kids play on a winless football team it is a tremendous grind and just grueling on the players parents and fans to endure, then that team is "rewarded" with one more on the road thrashing.  Yeah!  we get to go get demolished one more time, yeah!   It's absurd.

Brackets would be set up just like they are in 1A-5A, so that particular scenario wouldnt happen

No it's 1 seed vs the 8 seed from the opposing region. So it would be Bearden at Blackman and Coffee Co at Maryville

I may be stating the obvious here but it's a little silly to assume that teams like bearden and lebanon are going to be going 0-10. Personally I expect Bearden to be much better next year. Secondly mediocre to bad teams have been getting killed by really good teams in the 1st round of the playoffs for years. I'm not sure why some of you are acting like that's gonna be a new thing in this new 6A class.

You could have the 1st 0-11 team in history of high school football. That could very well happen just think about that.

It will more likely be something like 0-10 Warren Co (I don't know how good they are...just example purposes) traveling all the way to 10-0 Maryville.  That is quite a trip and considerable expense for some programs that might not have the resources.  I know that you can play up the David vs Goliath angles but at some points kids are realistic. 

[OakRidgeKat]

Yeah, I was just using those teams as a hypothetical game to illustrate you will have an 0-10 travel to a 10-0 for one final beat down.  It's ignorant

Has the TSSAA stated for sure that the match ups in the first round would be from opposing regions?  I haven't been able to find anything for sure.  Someone help me out.  

 

Regardless, bad teams have been getting blown out by good teams in the first round for years.  I hate the idea of every team making the playoffs personally.

It's Upward league

You are right about the blow-outs but at least it has been a 4-6 or 3-7 team at the worst. We will definitely see 0-10 vs 10-0. Big temptation to skip that blowout but the TSSAA would probably lay a fine on the forfeiting school because of lost gate revenue.
