In football, class size is broken up by groups of 64 teams, the lowest enrollment in the first group of 64 is class A, 65-128 is class 2A, now when you do your math, there are not enough teams for the upper classes, so they just take what is left at the end. You may petition and play up in class, but not down. In basketball, all this means nothing, because in the state of KY, we have a true state tournament where every competes on the same ground, no class seperation. The All A tournament was created and Touchstone Energy set the criteria. Hope this helps.

Groups of 64?
Go back and look again.
I doubt there are more than 40 teams per class in football.
