Region C

[DinwiddieProud]

As far as I know, the 4 Regions in Class 1 have NOT officially decided to send 8 teams to the playoffs. I have no information on which to base this, but an 8 team per region seems like a logical choice.

Assuming this will be the format, pick the 8 teams that YOU think will be playoff bound after 10 regular season games. I know that this can be a little tough, since only about 1/3 of the teams have released their full schedules.

Pick your teams in order of #1 to #8. And keep this in mind when you rank your teams, VHSL points!
A 6-4 team could well be ranked #2 or #3 because of points.

And, pick one, and only one #9 wildcard team that you think could very well make the playoffs if the stars line up.

This list is in alphabetical order, and comes from the VHSL website.

Region C and D should only get 6 playoff teams each, A maybe 8 and B maybe 6 as the teams stands now.

Region C and D should only get 6 playoff teams each, A maybe 8 and B maybe 6 as everything stands now.

A should definitely get 8 in. IMO D should as well. C is probably good at 6. 8 would only leave 4 teams out. Region B won't have 6 because there are only 7 football schools and likely only 5 will be eligible for postseason due to scheduling.

I'm good with having 8 in each (except B). Every other sport has had a conference tournament/ district tournament that sorts the bubble teams out. I'd rather have a team that shouldn't be in travel to the 1 seed and lose than cut it off early and have a team like Galax a few years ago miss the playoffs. I know many of you disagree with me but I just don't see the harm in it. I'm not saying everyone should get in. I'm just saying I would rather have a 4-6 make it or even the off year that a 3-7 makes it than have 6-4 or 7-3 teams sitting at home the second Friday in November.

I agree with you Point. I like the most inclusive playoff format that is realistic. (And realistic is relative to a lot of factors.) Playoff "Seeding" makes sure that including more teams does not dilute the actual competition.

I always ask this. Have you ever heard a coach or a player say that "they wish they had not made playoffs".

Which is worse? A group of kids on a 3-7 team having the memories of actually being in a playoff game? Or a group of kids on a 7-3 team not having the opportunity for that memory?
