I put this up in the other thread about NKY 6A being so average, figured I'd share in here as well.

 

I was bored at work today so did some digging......

 

In the past 10 years only 6 different teams have played in the large school state championship......

 

Trinity 9x's

St. X 5x's

Male 3x's

Scott County 1

Ryle 1

SK 1

 

Gosh I can't begin to imagine why any of the other 6A schools would want X and T out, especially when many of the other schools feel those two schools have an advantage over the others.

 

Let's continue.....

 

Over the past 10 years either X or T have played in the championship game and 4 times they've played each other in the championship.

 

Often time X and T fans are quick to say that if X and T were excluded next would be Male, well prior to this past year Male hadn't made the Championship game since Michael Bush was at Male in 2002.

 

2010 Trinity's closest game in the playoffs came from Ryle which I guess is one of those average NKY teams that this is all about and not any of the Louisville 6A teams they played, including the Championship game against Male.

 

In 2009 St. X's closest game came from SK another below average NKY team that was playing X on the road at St. X

 

Now just one last thing, if you remove T and X from 6A and replace them with the teams they beat in the semi finals of the first 4 6A state championship here's a break down of what teams would have played in the state championship.

 

2007 Boone Co vs Meade Co

 

2008 Eastern vs SK; Eastern and Manual lost to St. X and T but were in the opposite bracket of SK so I gave the nod to Eastern sense they had a better record than Manual.

 

2009 Greenwood vs Scott County

 

2010 Ryle vs Male

 

Unless my math is fuzzy that would be 3 below average NKY teams playing in the state championships if X and T weren't in 6A.

 

Yea I guess NKY 6A really does need to try to catch up with the rest of the state. I'm pretty sure we all know it'll take alot longer for them to catch up to T and X though....

SF41-you did much research, but how many teams play 6A football in the state-not many-and they all pale in comparison to Trinity and X. The state went from 4 classes to 6 in part to give out more state crowns. Seems like Trinity or X, Mayfield ,NCC, Highlands, Beechwood, Boyle County all seem to be competitive every year regardless of their class. Here is what the Northern Kentucky (and all the rest of the 6A) football teams check out at the beginning of the year. How far can they go before they meet Trinity or X. They also pray that alignment has those two pairing off earlier in the playoffs so they might have a chance to be state runner-up.

Agreed, but all that doesn't just water down the classes, but also the number of teams that are left to feel that they're at a disadvantage to T and X, take it to 4,5,7, or 10 classes, probably still going to have schools and fans that don't think it's a level playing field.
