Mythical Small School Playoffs

[MHSCardinal]

I was just checking out the Max Preps site, looking at the overall state rankings and it got me thinking, what if the KHSAA used some sort of Computer rankings to determine the playoffs and seeding. So, me being bored since UK played early today, ranked the Top 32 teams from Class A to Class AAA and bracketed them out. What would y'all think about a playoff with these matchups:

 

32 - Lloyd Memorial @ 1 - Belfry

17 - Pikeville @ 16 - Central

25 - Fleming Co @ 8 - Paintsville

24 - Russellville @ 9 - Danville

 

29 - Western Hills @ 4 - CAL

20 - Bardstown @ 13 - O'Boro Catholic

28 - Hazard @ 5 - Lex'ton Catholic

21 - Somerset @ 12 - Caldwell Co

 

31 - E'Town @ 2 - Mayfield

18 - Glasgow @ 15 Boyle Co

26 - Adair Co @ 7 - LCA

23 - Casey Co @ 10 - Raceland

 

30 - Garrard Co @ 3 - Corbin

19 - NCC @ 14 - Russell

27 - Pad. Tilghman @ 6 - Desales

22 - Cov. Holy Cross @ 11 - Beechwood

Scott County 10?

Tough draw for Pikeville.

Belfry wins every game by double digits

Belfry wins every game by double digits

 

They'd definitely be the favorite, but, there's several teams that would give them all they could handle.. CAL and Desales D's are good enough to keep them in the game with a Belfry and high scoring offenses like LCA and Mayfield could potentially, as well. The Pirates likely win every playoff game by double digits in the real playoffs, but, look at how much better the overall playoff games would be from round 1 to round 5..

KY should go to 2 classes.

Absolutely not

[Bwtigerpaw]

Russellville at 24? Thats way off...

Lol. Of course not because of several issues. I was just emphasizing how much fun this hypothetical tournament would be to watch ina tongue-in-cheek way

Okay, then, what if you combined 1a-2a, 3a-4a & 5a-6a and took the top 16 teams from those and that would be your 2a playoffs and the next 16 would be your 1a playoff and then the same for the other 2 classes. You'd still have 6 classes and 6 championships. You'd go back from 32 teams to 16 teams per playoff class, but, imo, you could start the season 1 week later and still have your title games the 1st weekend of December. You could play the 1a, 3a and 5a games on Friday and the 2a, 4a and 6a games on Saturday. Here's how those playoffs would look:

 

1a -

#16 B.BROSSART @ #1 LESLIE CO

#9 METCALFE CO @ #8 W. VERONA

#13 BRACKEN CO @ #4 HOLY CROSS

#12 MCLEAN CO @ #5 WILLIAMSBURG

#15 MONROE CO @ #2 LLOYD MEMORIAL

#10 MURRAY @ #7 FAIRVIEW

#14 PRESTONSBURG @ #3 KCD

#11 BALLARD MEMORIAL @ #6 BICHOLAS CO

 

 

 

@16

This would be the 2a brackets:

 

#16 HAZARD @ #1 MAYFIELD

#9 RACELAND @ #8 O'BORO CATHOLIC

#13 COV HOLY CROSS @ #4 PAINTSVILLE

#12 SOMERSET @ #5 DESALES

#15 GLASGOW @ #2 CAL

#10 PIKEVILLE @ #7 BEECHWOOD

#14 RUSSELLVILLE @ #3 LCA

#11 NCC @ #6 DANVILLE

Wouldn't be fair to a lot of kids

I try not to be too boastful about my Colts. That being said, I would place them as the 4 seed behind Belfry, Mayfield & CAL. HOWEVER, under no circumstances would I have them seeded behind either Lex Cath or Paintsville. The defense is simply too strong.
