8 teams was good. Formula was good. Although I did like that the good teams seemed to schedule games people wanted to see, like Howland vs JFK in my area, there was no feeling of pressure on anyone. A loss didn’t mean anything because everyone made it to the post season. The excitement of the kids needing a win to get in was gone. If they expand playoffs, they are taking that urgency away from everyone. So if schools aren’t willing to play teams everyone wants to see, what’s the point of regular season now. Go have fun and everyone gets a trophy? Also name 1 9+ seed that ever had a real legit shot at anything.
