NO! We need a points system. Each team gets points for each win. If the teams you beat, beat somebody, you get bonus points from them also. The tougher your compitetion, the more points you get. Teams get ranked from all their points. At the end of the year, you have 16 teams in each class. #1 plays #16, etc. It makes teams schedule tougher opponents to get a higher ranking. No watered down playoffs. You have to win to get in. No more 1-9 teams making the playoffs. Of course, everybody knows, it just boils down to making more money.

Absolutely not! Everyone fusses about the computer state rankings in almost every forum. Thats all we need to do is put our play-off existence in the hands of the same computers.

I have a friend that graduated from a school in Ohio that went 10-0 his senior year, won their conference and did not receive enough points to get into the playoff. Imagine being in a district with very weak competition and missing the playoffs because of the competition you are forced to play. Could happen!
