I can't believe I'm saying this , but , what about this , ( guys go to the body, not the face, LOL!!!), let's use the basketball state champ. format, let's force the teams to participate ( sched. wise ) within their own region, some regions, will need a north - south division, and a champ. game, ( ala big 12 or sec for instance ) , playoffs start with 16 schools , winner take all , small schools would be at a disadvantage , but, just , winning a regional champ. would be an unbelievable accomplishment, ( regional travel , who plays who , and so on , I'll leave to folks a whole lot smarter than me ) just throwing it out there, don't be too hard on me , think about the matchups !!!! ......
