[Old School Hound]

Most everyone on here is probably a lot smarter than me when it comes to high school sports. I just watch the games and appreciate the young athletes who entertain us.  What I want to ask , though, is this --- Do you think the current playoff format is the best possible way to determine a champion? Personally, I don't have a lot of gripes about it but there are some things I'm not crazy about. 

I was just curious if you were commissioner or on a board to determine a better playoff system, what changes would you make? I wish there was a way to do away with some of these first round matchups that only serve to embarrass the kids on teams that are way overmatched.  Some of those first round games, quite honestly, shouldn't be played.

 Would  you shorten the postseason ?  Are you okay with using RPI in later rounds to determine home field? Do you like cross-districting?

What would your playoff system look like if you had the power to determine it?  Do you have some changes in mind that would make it better or do you like it just the way it is?
