Wareaglefan1us Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Not saying it would have had any difference in WC’s season because it would not have. But look around 5A there’s no dominant teams not throwing disrespect towards anyone. In years past there’s always been those teams that if they met you circled it . I am not seeing that this season I’m seeing a lot of teams moving on like WC with losing records. Granted they won two region games they needed to move on. It’s crazy all all about the money. We can’t get enough officials to call games so let’s expand to seven classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean gautier waxes wc. Wc waxes Laurel and Laurel waxes Gautier. Anything can happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slicklizard Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 EVERY team in the south has major flaws and could just as soon win or lose this Friday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog2205 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I agree completely. We all know MHSAA did it for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccbulldog Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I don't think any team with a losing record in their own division should be able to make playoffs, no matter how many classes you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pancho Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 2 of the 4 teams in several regions had losing records. ridiculous by the mhsaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as there is 4 or 5 teams per region and 4 make it you can have 1-3 #4 seed every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why last year’s classification was better you had eight region teams with the top four making it. Then the playoffs were competitive at least.

Dubaction Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) 5a north has some good playoff teams. 5a south on the other hand…. Edited November 6, 2023 by Dubaction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince of Darkness Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 With only 5-6 teams in each Division, only 3 teams should make the playoffs. Give the 1 seed an off week, and let the 2s & 3s play in the 1st round. Most of the 4 seeds I saw scores for got blasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Like a whole lot) But the problem with it is it makes too much sense. Common sense and the MHSAA are like oil and water, they don't mix. Plus the almighty dollar might get shortchanged on their end (what a bummer for them). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just believe overall talent is down right now compared to years past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not about to fake outrage over first round games I don’t care about to begin with. The bigger schools are still playing regular season ball. It’s essentially a meaningless week for most of them.

I can remember the early to mid 2000s the playoffs were a marathon and some really good teams. There were three or four rounds to get to Jackson. WC would usually get Laurel, George County, Picayune ,Brookhaven and West Jones in some order. The South State Championship would be a rematch of a regular season game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubaction Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 And honestly… just in 5a there’s a bunch of teams that are traditionally good football programs but right now they’re down for whatever reason. That’s not something the association can do anything about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when the traditional teams rebound and I believe they will 5A still will be the weakest classification overall. Now granted this is my opinion only.

Gator22 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I'm curious. Was there ever an official reason for the new classiffication? Maybe there was and I didn't see it but I still feel like even if there was there were better solutions than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccbulldog Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 even if you win a championship now all you've really accomplished is being better than 23 other teams. With that many "champions" you really don't have a champion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also 5a and 6a are the most compelling to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
