Everyone is talking about the changes in regards to spring workouts but at last week's NCHSAA Winter Meetings a significant action was taken that will have some affect on playoff selection process.
The NCHSAA has changed its policy on #2 automatic qualifers from split-conferences. Those #2 teams now must have a .340 winning percentage to be eligible. In the case of football, that essentially means those teams have to win 4-games now to get the automatic qualifier.
I personally think its a step in the right direction and will do a better job at preventing teams with low records from making the playoffs by technicality.
