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. 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.

I love the element of the "reveal" for the semi-final games. I think most of the time the number 1 and number 2 teams are pretty clear so seeding them of opposite sides of the bracket makes good sense!

Greeneville 2. Marshall County 3 Haywood 4. Springfield Semi-Final: Springfield at Greeneville Haywood at Marshall County (At least that is how I would rank them.) You could argue 2 and 3 flipping in the seedings, but I think most folks would of had 1 and 4 this way.

FridayMainEvent Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) In 2A, I probably would of had the rankings like this after the quarterfinals: 1. Union City 2. Columbia Academy 3. Tyner Academy 4. Rockwood Semi Final: Union City hosting Rockwood Columbia Academy hosting Tyner Edited January 17, 2018 by FreeAgent11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridayMainEvent Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) I understand there would of been more travel involved in some instances: Many teams already are forced to stay overnight for Semi-final games anyway. These games always land on the Friday following Thanksgiving, so schools are out and that wouldn't be a factor. I think the excitement this would generate and the possibility of getting the best two teams in the State title game far outweigh the additional travel for the Semi-final games. Kudos to Kentucky for recognizing this. Edited January 17, 2018 by FreeAgent11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos to Kentucky for recognizing this. I think you meant Black Friday as in the day after Thanksgiving. Good Friday is the Friday before Easter. Lol!!
