Everide2016 76 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Here we go. I know I've seen plenty of 1-2 win teams make the playoffs, but don't recall ever seeing a zero win team. Well we have 0-10 Iraan. Any others? I know it's the system, but why not have some integrity, or whatever one wants to call it, and just forfeit the game. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

trueblue82 3,803 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I believe 4A Houston Scarbrough was the first 0-10 team to make the playoffs about 4-5 years ago. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

DOB 447 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Era is another ... all four team districts ... just one of those oddities that usually happen at lower classifications in wide open spaces ... If I remember correctly, Scarborough was placed in a five-school district that year (2014), then right before the season opened one of the schools was almost shut down - but was allowed to stay open if they discontinued athletics. Aberrations happen ... IMHO the entire system of expanded playoffs shouldn't be dismantled because of one. Forfeit ... maybe ... but I still believe kids, coaches, and fans would rather play than sit.  There's a bunch of people who post here that would have liked to have one more night in a huddle ... But that's just my take.  It doesn't make it right - it just makes it mine. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
GoodFellas 7 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I just think only first and second should get in the playoffs. Â 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

flukeshot 77 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Just got to accept it as a foreseeable consequence of the two division system. It's ultra-fair, but it means more travel and in some cases smaller districts vulnerable to some school suddenly dropping football or, especially in 2A D2, just not being able to field a team anymore. It's a self-correcting problem; one week of playoff football fixes it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Huh. Looks like Iraan's district was just four teams from the start. Crazy thing is they went 11-3 last year. Graduation must've really kicked their rears. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Â I don't understand this thinking when third and fourth place teams, regardless of the sport, continue to win in the playoffs. Just because it's the way we used to do it when there were half as many teams doesn't work these days. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Era's district was a five-team last year. Campbell dropped out and did independent six-man. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

BlahBlah 469 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Tornillo was an 0-10 last year, and had to play a ranked 10-0 Shallowater team in the first round. Absolutely no one showed up on the Tornillo side. Not even one parent.  Shallowater won 63-0. Link to post Share on other sites

Could it be caused by the fact that: That the game was played on Thursday That the starting time for the game was 5:00 pm (unheard of around here) That the game was played In Andrews, With Tornillo being about 4 hours away (Shallowater's drive was less than two) Not to mention the fact that economics probably meant parents from Tornillo were less likely to be able to take a day off from work to get there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ANTI 1,599 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 4 teams make the playoffs. Not all will have 10-0 records.... I don't see why people lose sleep over this. Everything will work itself out in the playoffs anyways. 3 6 Link to post Share on other sites
dillonpanthers 257 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I do get what you are saying. But just depends on the strength of each district in my opinion. There will be some 4 seeds who beat some ones. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

In some districts you could have 3-7 overall record and win the district. JT finished 3rd in district...It is what it is.  Link to post Share on other sites

It's basically social promotion applied to football. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
