Interesting with all of the arguing going on over who got screwed etc…. MaxPrep has 6 EBAL team in the Top 7. That would make things even worse than the NCS crew came up with.

Somebody pointed this out to me today…

Before last season, the playoffs for Divisions 2 and 3 were broken up into separate brackets for the Redwood Empire and the East Bay. So the NCS was used to the prospects of roughly equal numbers of teams getting into the playoffs from both regions. Last season was the first time that these designations weren’t used, and yet Division II had exactly 6 East Bay teams and exactly 6 Redwood Empire teams. Division III didn’t have enough teams qualified.

This year there were more than enough teams qualified, even with the expanded brackets, and yet look at what happened. In Division II, there are exactly 8 East Bay teams and exactly 8 Redwood Empire teams. San Lorenzo was left out with a 6-4 record, and clearly the last two teams to get in were Redwood Empire teams with less deserving records. In Division III, it seemed pretty clear that both Moreau Catholic and Kennedy were more deserving than either Terra Linda or Sonoma Valley, but by filling the brackets the way they did, amazingly there are exactly 8 East Bay and exactly 8 Redwood Empire teams.

That really can’t be a coincidence…

This is why CIF needs to go to a Comouter raitings system so there is no argument at all and that this terrible playoff field and seedings never happen again

prolly best trying to hide the committee after that terrible botching of DII and DIII.

I think there was quite a bit of support on the side of the Redwood Empire. Few eastbay teams got jewed out of spots
