They only get better by playing a tough non-section schedule.<BR/>If you insist that teams have a winning overall record, there will be no gain for some teams to play difficult non-section schedules. In fact, you'll be penalizing them for it.Dale Lolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089003781188560287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441295825713070782.post-50676445829890358852009-02-10T22:11:00.000-05:002009-02-10T22:11:00.000-05:00completely agree mike...way too many teams. same ...completely agree mike...way too many teams. same in football.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441295825713070782.post-54666347361725443122009-02-10T20:14:00.000-05:002009-02-10T20:14:00.000-05:00Some teams judge their season a winning season if ...Some teams judge their season a winning season if they make the playoffs.

If you ask me, football rewards terrible seasons too much as well. The only sport that leaves teams with horrible records home is baseball. The team with the worst record in the AAAA playoffs last year was Bethel Park (11-8) and they knocked off a Central Catholic team that had only lost twice in the first round. Baseball only takes the top 3 in each section-- a lesson that football and basketball should learn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
