Unfortunately, I hate to say this, but I think the end result of this game will show the fallacy of 4 teams in the playoffs. The playoffs used to be something of pride. Now for the first and second place teams it still is. Why did they go to 3 and 4? Is it playoff money for schools? The touchy-feely thought of working towards "everybody gets a participation ribbon?" I tend to lean towards the former. If it's the latter, why not allow all the teams to make the playoffs? Come close the circle and complete the joke!
Ned beating all the weak teams to gain a "playoff" spot, really, is this a badge of honor? If you end up getting embarrassed because you really shouldn't be there, where's the honor? Concerning this, being the tallest midget in the room doesn't help much!
I'm more concerned with the UIL changing this so not to put teams like this in an bad situation. I've seen 2-8 and 3-7 teams make the playoffs. Really?! Thoughts?!
