Remind me, are points locked in after week 8? Or do they still use power points to figure out the reseeded 16 team bracket?

Why wont the Coaches go to 24 teams in the playoffs and a 9 game regular season or just 24 teams and top 8 get bye first round ? The 32 is way to much a team that is 2-6 or 3-5 doesnt need to make the playoffs

Or just play 9 regular season games and have a 16 team playoff like the other classes.

How they do it now is so much better than the old way though, and it took a long time to get it right.

My biggest issue with the 8 man postseason is the high seed doesn't host throughout until Lincoln. It's ridiculous that Stanton this year has a pretty good chance of having to go on the road in the quarterfinals because the 9 seed beat the 8 seed. The high seed deserves the right to play at home if they keep winning.

I have heard a lot of coaches say they would rather see a team that doesn't deserve to make the playoffs get in rather than a team that deserves it get left out - tough for those seniors that get left behind their senior year. I agree with this sentiment.

I think you make a good point, my only argument is if your strength of schedule is weaker - thinking here maybe a Cross County or Sandy Creek (granted you have somewhat of an opportunity to schedule stronger non-district opponents - though not guaranteed) and your points are low, you may have a better team traveling to a weaker team. But, I can also see that it would then reward the host for getting through a tougher schedule...

I am unsure on 24, but I know a few years back there was a scenario where a team that made the state championship would not have gotten into playoffs under a 16-team format like Class C.

One way to look at it is with 32 teams the first round is essentially week 9 for the top 50% teams. I'd venture to guess that bottom 50%, whether due to participation #'s/challenges or competitiveness, don't need a 9th game.

The proposals for 3 8-man classes would give all 8-man teams a 9th game and move playoffs down to 16 teams in each. It would also create 3 classes that were the same in size to A, C1, C2, and 6-man.

Hard to say. The November 8 district meetings will be a good indication. There are two districts with the proposal, so we'll see where that goes in those two meetings. It might give us an indication of if it has a chance in February when the final vote happens.
