Top 4 teams from each region goes to the playoffs I believe.
That is correct. What I took his question meant was the different number of games (I could be wrong).
If I read it correctly, you could certainly end up with scenarios where a team who played a full schedule having to travel to a school who didn't, especially when factoring in after Regionals.
Just using the final 4 last season, TJ, SD, Appo, Graham: 3 have played 2 games, the last has played 0.
It's my understanding that Appomattox doesn't have a full schedule because of restrictions elsewhere, so they are by MP playing the same 3 teams twice (2 of which are 1a). Graham does (all 4 remaining are 2a), Stuarts Draft does (1 1a, 1 2a, 2 3a), and TJ plays 4 games (per Max Preps schedule). 1 is a private (so doesn't count either way), 1 2a, and 2 5a schools.
So those 4 could end up as this (not saying this is how those games will end up, just showing possibilities):
If all 4 of those teams finish undefeated, they rank as follows (with guessing other outcomes:
1. TJ (3-0): 25.33
2. SD (6-0): 24.33
3. Graham (6-0): 23
4. Appomattox (6-0): 22
With regards to Graham maybe, and absolutely Appomattox, they could even be a 1 seed and be lower than other 2/3 seeds across the classification.
And unlike other years, for some (at present), that could even effect them being able to see their children in person.
I don't know what the answer is though
