What's your thought on number of playoff teams

[Hon Dines]

1A-7A 48 teams per class
8A 24 teams

Too many classifications, too many playoff teams.
Five or six classes of 32 teams would be perfect.
About 390 schools have football programs. Five classes of 32 would be 160 qualifiers. That is over 40% of the schools in the playoffs. More than enough!

Still wondering how they will do 1A playoffs with numerous charters not playing football.

The number sounds to be about right to me. 6 games to Championship for 1 through 7A, if it is 1 st round some byes to get to the proper number of teams remaining at 32.

Bump them all up into the 2A bracket until they do field teams

They might just go ahead and give the trophy to the black knights lol

Playoffs just a participation trophy first round at all levels other than maybe 8A. Coaches with 2 win seasons can put on their resumes that they were in playoffs.
