Fewer football teams in the playoffs = less practice, less game experience, and more bad football.

The KHSAA should consider a training program for young football coaches. Indiana football is much less top heavy than Kentucky football is.

Just consider Class 6A. Kentucky has Trinity as the only great football team in the class. Center Grove, Ben Davis, Carmel, Warren Central, Penn, Lawrence Central, and Fishers have all have won at least one Indiana state 6A title since 2000. During the same period, only four teams have won Kentucky's largest class - and Trinity has won 12 of the 16 titles during that period.

If allowing every team in the playoffs makes high school football worse, then why is Trinity the heavy, heavy favorite to win Kentucky's state 6A title almost every season?

This topic is a dead horse issue that comes up every season. The arguments in favor of letting fewer teams "make" the playoffs never get any better.
