GREYRIDERx Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 53 minutes ago, Red Rebels said: The problem is, where is the East West dividing line? Do you seed 1-32 and then cut it in half geographically? I hated the Z-Plan because of the wildcards, and we are complaining about polls in another thread. And seeding invites bias. I didn't have all the kinks worked out when I posted this. There isn't an easy answer. I am in favor of constriction to 5 classes. 5 classes yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebelAtHeart Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 To fix this requires change and sacrifice... for some. Here is a stab at rearranging districts that would work but I guarantee a handful of schools in the west and middle-west wouldn't like it.

BIGPURPLEMACHINE Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 I don’t see Bolton High School on any of these projections. Aren’t they still a 6A school in Memphis?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcityroller Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 20 hours ago, RebelAtHeart said: Agree 6A is skewed. However, the first two rounds are typically a waste of time. I suggest they only advance 2 teams per region and break it down to 8 or 12 regions geographically. Has any 4th seed ever made it past round 3? I know T$$AA loves the extra gate money, but the current system is too broad to pick the best teams in the state. Ridiculous to play 3 games in August to make sure more than half the teams are in the playoffs. Too many losing teams are playing in the post-season. I would rather see an extra two weeks on the back end to let each team that wins a gold ball in their division play for a Platinum ball to name THE truly best team in the state! It happened last year. Knox Central made it to the 4th round. Its happened 7-8 times in the last 15 or so years. I know Livingston Academy was a 4 seed and they won a state championship about 10-15 years ago. Then Ravenwood I believe either played for or won a state championship as a 4 seed about that same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle and West are more densely populated; therefore, have larger schools. imo. Yet out of towners think most people look,sound and talk like East TN folks smh lol sorry I had to say it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
