...high school playoff systems. Fly over the map to select a state and see a synopsis of their playoff system, the number of teams, how they are divided up, ect...

I like that. California's playoff system is worthless. High School football out there is an afterthought in 99% of the schools.

California can't do anything normal.

Guess it works the 1st few times you access it. After that it throws up that stupid registration stuff, so make it count!

With us starting division 1 and 2 and no telling what else in the classes for obvious reason$, Texas is fast approaching California and the other States. The money wins out.

Personally, I can't wait until "The Big One" hits and the entire state, or at least the western 1/3 of it falls into the Pacific. Maybe then we can kick them out of the U.S.

Here's my take on some of the states' playoff systems, just took a look at a few of interest, and some others at random.

California - WORTHLESS
Ohio - Load of crap (computer based, come on!!!)
Indiana - WHAT???? Team names on ping pong balls in a bingo machine? What the hell???
Florida - Good system
Georgia - What the??? Playing a 3-way (3 teams) game in halves to determine tiebreakers?

Texas's system is the best, by far.

Its alot harder to travel long distances in California w/ all the mountains and such, I think that is part of the reason they have sections and not state champs.. The talent is still just as good as Texas

I love this part!:

To make playoffs: Exist as a high school football team.

I lived in Cali for 2 years :rolleyes: Their "superteams" are excellent but I wasn't at all impressed by their more down-to-earth teams not featuring the Reggie Bushes and Matt Leinarts of the world and I went to my fair share of games. Somehow they continue to put out great prospects all over though.
