How can a 3 win team get a bye?

How can South Robeson get a bye this year,as well as 3 others in 1Aor 1AA?

Considered a conference champion. Top four seeds get byes. Must have been four or less champions in their half of the bracket.

Split conferences are certainly a cause for concern under the current system.

You must didn’t see that 1 win Team in 4A with a 2 seed and a bye

It’s a joke, i don’t know where they got this from but they need to take it back

It is all about the money. They have got to pad their pockets more.

Byes aren't about the money. Meaningless football games are much more about the money. The purpose of the bye is to keep even more bad teams out of the playoffs.

The reason we have 1-10 football teams even in the playoffs is split conferences. Split conferences have lots to do with being about the money (and travel time for student-athletes, yes, but also money).
