I noted that three 6A teams that are winless for the season are in the playoffs. How is that possible? I thought you had to win at least one district game to be eligible.

Nope, everyone in 6A gets in. It's a joke.

It's because KHSAA is a joke. Instead of having 5 and 6 team districts and only taking too 3 or 4 they have 3 team districts that are a joke. NKY has 6 6A teams in the immediate vicinity of each other and instead of having 1 district they created 2 3 team districts. For those that say they have to have a certain number of districts, no they don't. Give #1 seed bye in the first round if you have to. There are ways around it. KHSAA could screw up anything they touch.

And, everyone in Class 1A is in.

Our system is broken. Let's do 1 seed gets a by for being district champs and 2-3 play each other.

This is exactly why KHSAA screwed up massively when they went to 6 classes. Winning a state championship will always be a huge significance but I value them far less now than when teams were winning them during the time period of 4 classifications. I can't understand why Kentucky has 6 classes and teams with no wins make the playoffs. Some people who are in power really need to push to bring it back down to 4 classes, because it really waters down the legitimacy of some of the past champions.

To be fair, the coaches and AD's voted to make the 6 Class System. It's their fault.

 

But, the KHSAA gave them three choices, not two, which watered down the majority vote. That's the KHSAA's fault.

You've been a member since 2007, how could have missed the 3 or 4 yearly threads on this topic? :lol2:

FWIW you don't have to win a regular season district game in any sport to make the playoffs in Kentucky.

To be truthful, I am just a casual fan of high school football. I , therefore, don't get on this forum often. The topic for football playoffs must be like the discussion on pros and cons for seeding of district tournaments in basketball. That one never ends!

Because every kid is entitled to the playoffs so that nobody can have their heartbroken. Entitlement is the norm.

That's right, this is done to avoid having hearts broken. An 0-10 team will feel so much better and such a sense of accomplishment after taking a nice bus ride, getting blasted and falling to 0-11. Yep, that's the reason.

 

Its OK to not like the system. I'm not a fan myself. But let's stop getting carried away with the everyone gets a trophy, entitlement, we're not teaching our kids the right lessons talk. It's a football game. It ain't changing anyone's life, and it ain't setting a kid on a winless team up for future failure in life. Stop making this out to be more than it is.

As crazy as winless teams making the playoffs is....

 

Only KHSAA could devise a system where a winless team is a 3 seed in a 4 team district set-up. ( See Boone Co HS )

Almost every NCAA division 1 basketball team gets into the "playoffs", so it isn't just a KHSAA thing. You even have teams getting second chances in the NCAA just like the district runner ups in Kentucky basketball. I include all the conference tournaments as part of the process to crown the NCAA basketball champion. Conference tournament winners get in. Conference tournament losers get a second chance at winning the title through the selection process

Bottom line, why is it a problem that everyone gets in?
