if you get rid of .500 or sub.500 teams how do you expect kemper to make the playoffs? 2-5 after 7 games like i said duderino were you at? A team football whats up?

I may be coming in to this late but remember this a work in process. Give it a year or two and they will make changes that will work out for the best. Just keep in mind the shear number of teams that play in the state will make it hard for there to be a perfect system. Limiting the number of At-large bids will limit the playoff income for the sections thats why you see 5 or 6 .500 teams in the first round. Plus if you have only league winners you would have teams like Healdsburg kept out of the playoffs the last 6 years. They are a DIV school that plays in a league of DII schools. They might have a 7-3 record year each but those three losses come at the hands of teams like Windsor (1500 students) Casa Grande (1300) Analy (1000+) or any number of NCS East Bay school that have 1000+ students. They haven’t won that league in a long time but remember they have been in section finals and/or beat other DIII and DIV league winners year after year and they only have 750 to 800 students each year.

What Prep Fan say’s…Makes a lot of sense….The only other thing that can be done is to start one week earlier in the season…Each entry should meet the southern teams based on victories on the field instead of by selection….The selections this last round were all good choices, but this doesn’t always happen..

Just Sayin’ re: post #16. A state baseball championship should be a lot easier as they can play more than one game per week. The current problem is that the season ends so late that they run up against the end of the school year by the time the playoffs are done. They only go to sectional titles, but would need another 3 games to have a true state playoff similar to basketball. In baseball, they can even play 2 games in a day, so we are not even talking about more than another week to have a true state champion. Just have the 4 section winners battle it out on one weekend and have the winner move on to play the SoCal winner. If need be, then reduce the number of teams advancing in the sectionals to just 8 which would shorten the sectional playoffs by a game.

Guys…This is good…I agree with Prep Fan and EBAL fan#2…..Too many teams have been in the playoff’s that have no business being there…Let the champs from each league go into the playoffs….This would mean win or die….Eureka and Fortuna always seem to come up with winning teams…BUT….traveling is the price you pay for winning….This also means each team had better come to play….

Up in my neck of the woods the SACJUAQ , their actions are considered shifty and dodging. Running backs and sprinters stick it out.

Why would the paper run a story on the Granada High sprinters quiting the track team? Could not been done behind the scenes without fan fare?
That’s not a good example for others to see. Track is an individual sport other than relays- you run for yourself and times- their times haven’t been up to shuff this year or even last- I expected more from 2 boys going to Notre Dame on football. Could the smacking they took from DELa during football lead to injuries?

@ebalfan #2 I agree. Calpreps has already done the math if we’re going to a 6 round play-off CIF can do a true State-wide play-off. In the NCS the travel is already there Eureka & Fortuna teams are traveling 5-6 hours to play a game. You can get to LA in 6 hours.
