Stop the FB HS Play Offs ? Why not?

Are they worth the all the baloney, time, trouble, and work.

Back to Labor day weekend start time,and the Thanksgiving Day games.

There was about, maybe 3500 at the class 6 championship game.

I gratuated high school and played high school football in the state of California, and back then they only played until Section champions were decided (and inexplicably, I didn’t die )

College football didn’t have a national championship game until close to the turn of the century; before then, they just played until conference champions were decided and then they played LESS THAN TEN exhibition games pitting the best teams from around the country against each other (they called these exhibition games “Bowl Games”; the stats from these exhibition games didn’t even count...)

Those kids survived too!

If everyone just plays 10 games with no post season, you play your guts out to win your conference. Week 10 half the teams finish the season on a positive with a win. Today 1 team finishes with a win and 63 finish in agony. There is a lot to be said for going back to 1966 or so.

Why not have one last invitational bowl game after the regular season?

1) Conference becomes more important.
2) We don't have these wacky, silly match ups between schools that are almost double the size of other schools in their classification. Over 85% of all state champions come from the top 25%( in size) in the class. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that. Hoosiers was a good movie, but it doesn't happen in real life very often.
