It would make the playoff system a lot fairer by keeping the larger 2A schools out of the small school bracket. There have been too many schools like Celina and others who have wound up in the small school bracket even though they were a very large 2A school at the time. I remember in 2001 Celina was in the small school bracket with more than twice the enrollment of Garrison. That wouldn't happen with this new alignment system. The travel issue is minor, especially in East Texas.
