TheAmbassador Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Think 1a to 2a will be around 370.How are you figuring that? I have been curious what the cutoff would be as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAmbassador Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 I think the largest 1a school will be Trousdale Co. Peabody more than likely will be the smallest 2a school. If the cutoff is 48 schools for class.There are a few other schools that have applied for tssaa membership that might make a difference in the cutoffs.Trousdale the largest? That's convenient.

lakecounty1968 Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 From the count I'm coming ul with it will be Trouadale at 388. That would be 48 for each class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pujo Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Is this if all privates leave? I'm not sure the #s are up to date. I see several schools with the exact same #s as the last time.That would be really strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueDevil58 Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) Do we have any smart people out here who want to take a shot at predicting the new regions for next year? I am very curious to find out. There'll be about 47-48 per class divided into 8 districts. The sensible thing would be 6 teams per district, but I guarantee the TSSAA will have some districts with 7 or 8 teams and others with 5 or maybe even 4 (automatic playoff berths for all!). The complicating thing that makes projections difficult is that so many of the small privates are going to Division II, but we won't know exactly how many for a few weeks. Cutoffs should be around: 1A-- 150--248% variance in enrollment from smallest to largest 2A-- 400--33% variance in enrollments from smallest to largest 3A-- 600--35% variance in enrollments from smallest to largest 4A-- 810--37% variance in enrollments from smallest to largest 5A--1115--34% variance in enrollments from smallest to largest 6A--1500+--53% variance in enrollments from smallest to largest (2300) Edited September 22, 2016 by BlueDevil58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDevil58 Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) I'd say 4 in each region. TSSAA makes big money and all schools want to get there. Most never have a chance of winning it all so the playoffs is there goal. And even that can be a big task for some. You are correct. The reason for 6 classes with automatic berths for the Super 32 this last time around was to simplify things AND keep the 6 playoff systems intact. They want 32 teams in each class going to the playoffs, so 4 per region. They make a ton of money off this. With only about 47 or 48 schools in each class, this means 2/3 of the schools in Tennessee will be playoff bound next November.

BlueDevil58 Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) I was thinking 3 at most but 4 Wow! That will put alot of teams that never had a chance in with only 6 in a Region! That's assuming they divide regions evenly, which they've never done. With 4 per region making it in, there are 5 team regions where all you have to do is beat that 1 team at the bottom and make it in at 1-9. Meanwhile, other districts will have 8 or even 9 teams where you can go 6-4 but be left out in the cold. Supposedly the reasons for this are to save on travel expenses, but try telling that to the 6-4 teams. I don't see why the TSSAA would be any different this time around.

The way our region is now its crazy how far we have to travel to some games! TSSAA never has a simple solution though!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
