Playoffs Playoffs Wanna talk about Playoffs

[wolfchase]

Playoffs & being a State Champion are not what they imply or anywhere near what they used to be. Too many classes too many State Champions. State Champions are really essentially only 1/10 Champions nowdays. 9 classes(for arguments sake 10) so one tenth of a State Champion. Classes are too small(not enough teams) in order to pass out more so called State Championships. Have spread out all the good teams to make it easier and more probable to win a State Championship. Look at 3A for instance. 3AAA essentially only has maybe 3 teams in the entire class that are even playoff worthy and even remotely have a chance to win it(that being Alcoa, Covington &/or Pearl Cohn. None of the others basically even a chance by a longshot. You can't even get 6-7 teams outta the whole bracket worthy of winning the SC. Teams are ranked that have no business being ranked but have to be cause they're the only ones available etc. Most are mediocre/average at best. Even Milan is so so this year, not a threat at all, way down from year's past. Increasing the number of classes and shrinking the pool has diminished the quality BIGTIME

Now the REAL atrocity 4A

Dyersburg is in a bracket where they can possibly make it all the way to the Semi finals w/o even playing a team with a winning record. I'm am talking about the PLAYOFFS yall THE PLAYOFFS . YEAH The State Championship 4A Football PLAYOFFS not weekend Sister of Poor Classic.

Dyersburg is playing a team in the 1st Round of the Playoffs that did not even win a single game. Only scored 12 points ALL YEAR(that's 12 points all year(entire season long) Scored in 2 games. Shutout every other game, 6 pts twice & that was prolly gifts. Plus assuming all where running clock games. Why are they playing in the Tennessee State Championship Playoffs. It's not worth the cost of the bus ride, the refs or the lights (electric) expenses.

Wouldn't you think in Playoff Football, the games should/would naturally be more challenging. More demanding than your regular season matchups? Not the case in 4A. Many will be playing weaker teams than they played all year.

The overall record of the teams in Dyersburg's bracket is 31-45. Thirty-one & Forty-five for the entire bracket and that's including Dyersburg's record. Dyersburg's combined opponent's record in their entire bracket is 21-45. That's ridiculous. It is quite fitting however.

I see that Dyersburg's overall regular season opponents combined record was likewise atrocious as well

35-64. I didn't realize they played that weak of a schedule already. Only played 2 teams with winning records. 2 opponents outta 10 with winning records, and they were both measly 6-4, so essentially haven't played anybody. Figures.

However ridiculous that is in itself, it doesn't anyway compare with the mentioned abysmal playoff opponents" TOP RATED" combined record of 21-45. Playoff Football Opponents combined record again 21-45. Anyway More of the Same. Where can we all get in a pool like that?

So they are the UCF of 4A

Ac is the UCF of 4a lol best team they played was 5-4 (one game cancelled for weather) they had back 2 back 3-7 seasons. They go to 4a and drove from Knox to Chattanooga to play teams that aren’t very good. Some in which barely lost to them lol

As a coach I wouldn't let my team play in a play off game if we haven't won a game all year.  What message does that send the kids?  If we didn't earn it we don't play.  Bottom Line. TSSAA is more worried about $$$$ than the quality of games played in the play offs.

Good work @Devilsx4. They're all pretty similar.  They still have to play, but it kind of lets you know who's played the better competition, and their quality wins.

Haywood must have played a couple of 10-0 teams this year. I know they played Henry County in 5A.  I think they're ranked #3.
