Just make them go back to 6A. Alot of the schools in 6A shouldn't be 6A anyway.

Probably a dumb idea but 7A is the least interesting classification of them all because of so few teams.

I'm not sure it's going to matter for the first round anyhow. R4 just isn't very good. The 6A teams up here usually beat them.

I don't know, 7A is probably my least favorite class to keep up with and this doesn't change it much. Feels like only maybe 3 teams ever have a shot at winning it all each year.

If travel is apparently not an issue, maybe they should just seed 1-16. That would be different and give the best teams a chance to match up later in the playoffs.

They are trying to level the playing field so these other regions don?t get swept in the first round. there?s truly only 2 regions that hold the powerhouses (that?s 2 and 3). The other 2 are a joke. I don?t agree with the rotation.

it really hurts because it makes schools have to travel 350+ miles for a football game. i get why they want to do it though, make more competitive matchups in the first round. from what i understand, if this format was used last season, then theres a possibility of vestavia vs central since they were the 1 and the 4 in each region.
