Re: 16 teams in AA & AAA too many
I understand your concerns with teams “not deserving to make it”. But if you take top 8 then you play two games and then play in championship. That’s too few games. Then you have the discussion of how do you pick the top 8 teams? There are some District #2 teams (and some #1s for that matter) that might not deserve to be in the “top 8 spots” so to speak. I think the 16 team playoff bracket is fine bc then you at least get the best teams in and the champion has to win several games to get there. At the end of the playoffs the cream has risen to the top anyway, and this format assures that. I’m not a big fan of the 1 vs 16, 2 vs 15, etc . format... but that’s another discussion entirely...
