Drop the classes to 4 and the championship games become competitive and larger crowds.  Probably can move the games back to MTSU or Vanderbilt. In D2 have two classes based on the amount of financial aid gieven by a school in stead of size.

I would like to see the publics go back to three or four classes and eliminate the first two rounds of playoffs.

I do not believe the current incarnation of the T$$AA will allow this to happen. They prefer a watered down product that pumps more cash out.

Thinking a private will win it all every year.

No they can't because many of their prime athletes are courted by the privates and eventually transfer.   Public can never compete with privates consistently.   Every few years, you might see one load

The current system would be used up till the semi-finals.   At that point, we could adopt this new system.   Keep in mind the selected media members would have no affiliation to a specific team or region:

It would be interesting to develop some type of formula to rank the  Semi-final teams at the end of the season.   This would involve elements such as Strength of schedule, region finish, home and away wins etc..   Combine this formula with a very specific number of media members recognized for their Statewide coverage to rank the final four teams (playoff committee).   Poll the selected media members for the 1-4 rankings and then combine that with the computer rankings and set the matchups.   One vs. Four and Two vs. Three for the semi-finals.   Top ranked team hosts (one and two).   Then have a legit title game in Cookeville for each class.  

This would be inline with our current College Football Championship.

The upside to this plan is the four semi-finalist had to play their way into the Title game so they can't be "left out" like the college version. 

Not JUST no ... but HECK NO!

As close as I could count there are: 49 A public schools, 47 2a public schools, 48 3a public schools, 48 4a public schools, 52 5a public schools & 50 6a public schools. I think being the Champs or co-chps out of that many participants is pretty good. And what's so bad about making a high schooler feel good about themselves?

Why not just one class that includes all publics and all privates. That would not be watered down.  Huge championship game attendance! A championship that really meant something.

Some of you that are talking about four classes of public’s and two classes of privates are still offering a more water downed product than existed 25 years ago.

If they can do 3 classes in basketball (and there are more teams playing hoops than football) then the state can get by with 3 classes in football for D1 and one class for D2.  32 teams make the playoffs, no losing team will get in, larger districts and less travel. Play the title game at Vanderbilt or MTSU time to leave Cookeville.

Oh, and as a Whitehaven fan, I can totally see your objection.   It would suck to have to go through TWO quality opponents every year to gain a title...

I've said it more then once and I will continue to repeat myself. NO SELECTION COMMITTEES. NO polls. NO intepretation of schedules. No interpretations from media writers or gurus.

NOTHING where bias can slip into the process.

NOTHING.

I DON'T TRUST FOLKS, even those who THINK they are being un-biased.

The only thinng that matters is the PLAY on the field. Region standings.

PERIOD.

Throw all of that other junk OUT of the window. It has no place in this.

 

SMH.

The current play-off format has it right. I DO NOT CARE ABOUT TEAMS WITH LOSING RECORDS GETTING INTO THE PLAYOFFS. I'll take that over selection committees every time without having to think about it! 

There is no perfect system BUT the current system insures that there is no bias whatsoever. THAT is paramount. THAT is the MOST IMPORTANT. Anything else is crap!

      Elizabethton Football

      By formerblazer · Posted

      You didn't spell Greeneville and Elizabethton correctly in your sentence.  4A has the best teams in Upper East TN.  Carter County All-Stars and Greene County All-Stars is the Superbowl now.

      Yeah, but if he goes to Science Hill they are guaranteed at least a win over Kingsport and that's basically the NET Superbowl

      2024 5A Season

      By blazer1set · Posted

      I expect Sevier County might be pretty good, perhaps Mo West as well.     But I don't see either of them getting out of round 2.          The rest of the region gets smoked in round 1.            Except for those once-in-a-blue-moon anomaly years the NET big schools are pretty much the same every season.

      Prayers for Kyle James family

      By ObseverW · Posted

      Wanted to see if all of you would lift up Kyle James family in prayer. Kyle was one of the best wrestlers to ever come out of Soddy Daisy and as some of you know he lost his house a few weeks ago and now his family and friends mourns his passing. Not sure if any of you were around in early 2000’s when Kyle was wrestling at Soddy, but he was a 3 time state champ and a Fargo AA along with going to Colorado to train to make the Olympic team. That goal was never reached due to medical issues, but he was an amazing wrestler and his family is as good as gold. If you were around at that time and have any pictures of Kyle, please go onto Alexy Winesburgh FB page and post. Thanks, Doug Benton

      Favorites to win State 1A

      By cp11 · Posted

      My opinion the 8 teams will be-  Greenback, Wartburg, Gordonsville, Jo Byrns, Eagleville, Bruceton, Dresden, and South Fulton. Gordonsviile is probably the favorite but I wont say it will be an easy road. With the right draw any of the 8 could win it.
