Re: TheSchoolmarm #13

I received and opened your Playoff Blueprint file, thanks. The file requires a Microsoft Works conversion program to bring it up in WORD.

I’ll try to make it to 1907 tonight after the games. I am leaning toward going to the battle on Stone Valley (Pitt@MV), but it will be a game-time decision.

Re: Paydirt #8

Actually, my playoff “plan” includes a California HS FB history; arguments for and against a statewide playoff; “political” and “fiefdom” interests; economic
issues and needs; other athletic and education issues and needs; a “personal” philisophy about high school football, athletics, and education in general; as well as a “blueprint” for California HS FB playoffs with a suggested playoff organization. It’s a 15 typed written paged prospectus crammed with a lot of facts and figures and not the easiest reading and way too much for me to type in here.
I’ll email you a copy, but most others have said they had trouble trying to download it from the app I used.

Anyway, I plan on being at 1907 after tonight’s rnd 1 playoff games. I can show you the suggested playoff organization at least.

It is easy to get a state playoff system. First thing that would have to happen is cut one week out of the current playoffs. 16 teams qualifying for playoffs in each division is ridiculous. Go to eight teams max, that leaves the extra week for a true regional playoff. 16 teams in a playoff is way too many, never a chance to win. You would have 4 section champions squaring off with the winner playing the southern winner for the state championship. Very similar to what is going to happen in college football when they go past the BCS format.

Also, they need to get rid of the “Open Game”, with a playoff system there is no need for it. California is the only state with such a format. There would be state champions in Div 1, 2, 3, 4.

I think, for the SJS, it depends on the number of eligible teams and the eligible playoff teams school enrollment. If you go to calpreps you’ll see several teams who’s division is I-IV. It’s because once they get in the top 16 go to DI, the next 16 to DII, etc… Placer got pushed down to DIV.

For instance, Placer I thought they was a d2 team but they’re playing in the d4 playoffs… and can qualify for d3 bowl games? same for Sutter i think

TheSchoolmarm,

Lay it on us…

I assume that this is what we talked about over a cold one a few weeks ago. Much like the President got the BCS to move, perhaps your proposal, which makes lots of sense, could get the CIF off their political seats.

Btw, “I like Mike!” was re-elected. Good for ‘da-mayor’…

A lot of this regional stuff depends on how the CCS will separate their divisions. Not sure how it works over there because they have an open division and I think teams can opt in or out of it.

I’d like to see how it can be done without the NCS, CCS, NCS, NS, SS…etc. losing money from no longer holding their own playoffs.
