I don't think it's a factual reason, but it certainly, to many, feels wrong that teams with 4-6 or even 3-7 records can compete for a state championship.I still don’t get why people are so against the 16 team playoff. The only negative of the longer season, only affects a small handful of teams (that make it really deep into the playoffs). There are way more positives:
- One extra playoff game for the kids to enjoy, share of additional sales, concessions dollars to make, etc.
- You don’t have to be as careful with the schedule, and can schedule up knowing that tough game likely won’t be the reason for being on the outside looking in.
- It gets all of the state powers into the playoffs, and oftentimes a 4-6 power with a tough schedule is better than half the teams that made the 8 team region.
I really don’t think 16 teams making the playoffs is a bad thing. If anything the bigger issue is how much the summer has been taken over with 7 on 7s and the additional scrimmage.
