He’s correct in that it wouldn’t work to do it statewide like they do over there, but he has an idea that I think has a lot of merit. First things first: district championship gets you in the playoffs with the guarantee of hosting your first round game if you choose to. If you prefer to play somewhere else with turf and/ or more seating, that’s your call. The district champs are all seeded based on their points, followed by the rest of the teams in the region. You gain power points based on who you have played. For example, Union Grove’s non District schedule would not have gotten them a lot of points because they played down almost every game against teams that aren’t very impressive. Garrison would get points for beating a district champion (SA), but probably wouldn’t be penalized for losing to a 3A D1 playoff team (Crockett). You would reward teams for playing and winning tougher non District games, which gives meaning to those games. As it is now, your first 4-5 games, depending on how big a district you’re in, mean squat. You have a team in district 12 that went 0-2 vs district 11, but they’re going to the playoffs while it’s guaranteed that one of the teams that beat them stays home, and the other one missing out is a possibility. Also, as an extra reward for winning tougher non-district games, the district champion that earns the top seed gets home field advantage all the way to regional finals. For instance, say Carlisle beat Joaquin and Hemphill instead of Overton and Bowie. That probably gets them the top seed. If they choose, they get all four games through regional finals at their house. I know Huntington is the feel-good story right now, but am I the only one with a bad taste in my mouth over a 3-7 team with the 3 wins coming over teams that are a combined 2-28 making the playoffs while it’s possible that a 7-3 team (Joaquin or Linden-Kildare) stays home? If there’s a better way, shouldn’t we at least explore the idea? I like it, but wouldn't you have to eliminate the year round horrible teams? Because #1. No one will want to play them because there is no gain in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOB Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 The UIL has enough trouble now just doing the realignment every two years.
