Why reward a team that didn't win a single game to make the playoffs? It's like participation trophys, everybody gets one just because. Their being rewarded for doing nothing. Playoffs should be rewarded to teams that work hard all year and fight and scratch to win every game to make the playoffs. Letting a team in the playoffs with a 0-10 record sets a bad example. It says it doesn't matter how hard we work we're still in. Not to mention that that 0-10 team may have a perfect night against a 10-0 team who worked their butts off all year to get where they are and have a terrible game only to get upset by someone who shouldn't have been there in the first place. I don't know if that has ever happened but it could. I'm all for the top 2 teams in each district making the playoffs. That does away with the blowout games and the risk of injuries in games that really doesn't matter. Just my opinion. I know some people won't agree with me but that's everyone's right. Good Luck to all in the playoffs.

If every team participates in the playoffs, how is that like handing them a trophy? If they are winless going into the playoffs, then they are most likely going to exit the playoffs without a win. I don't think an 0-11 or a 1-10 team is going to put that record on a T-shirt.
