If I Was King of Sports: CA 8-man football playoffs

California has a state bowl system for 11-man high school football, but it does not have a state playoff or bowl game system for 8-man football. These players deserve to have a state championship as well. I have two ideas of how to make this happen. I will admit that it is hard to have a fair system, because there are far more teams in Southern California than in Northern California; and for the most part, most of the Southern California teams are far better than the Northern California teams, at least according to calpreps.com. For me, it was more important to have representation from all parts of the state as opposed to strictly having the best teams in, especially in high school. Anyway, my first idea is to have a 32-team state playoff tournament. All league winners in the state would be in the playoff, along with the 14 top-rated at-large teams. I used calpreps.com ratings to select and bracket the teams. I broke the bracket into two 16-team parts to better allow for less travel in the first round, but that would not prevent all travel difficulties. Idea #1 (Note: I would have true #16's play true #1 regardless of travel. The numbers were calpreps.com ratings. Bracket I 1) California School for the Deaf-Riverside (TCP-SS) (52.7) 16) Tomales (NC-III NCS) (-22.3) 8) Lancaster Baptist (LIB-SS) 23.4 9) Desert Chapel-Palm Springs (TCP-SS) 22.9 5) Valley Christian Academy-Santa Maria (CVL-SS) (32.6) 12) Villanova Prep-Ojai (FL-SS) (17.5) 4) Woodside Priory-Portola Valley (PCL-CCS) (34.9) 13) Rock Academy-San Diego (SURF-SD) (10.4) 6) Victory Christian-Chula Vista (OCE- SD) (31.3) 11) AGAPE (SS): Hesperia Christian (19.6) 3) Mammoth-Mammoth Lakes (IND-CS) 47.1 14) San Pasqual Academy-Escondido (MAN-SD) (5.4) 7) Stuart Hall-San Francisco (NCII-NCS) (29.5) 10) Thatcher-Ojai (IND-SS) 19.6 2) Fresno Christian (CSL-CS) (48.4) 15) Cornerstone Christian-Wildomar (MAJ-SS) (-4.9) II 1) Faith Baptist-LA Canoga Park (IND-SS) 49.5 16) Amino Robinson-Los Angeles (CITY-LA) (-10.8) 8) Leadership Military Academy- Moreno Valley (LIB-SS) (26) 9) Cate-Carpinteria (IND-SS) 21.5 5) Grace Brethren-Simi Valley (IND-SS) 32 12) Chester (CA-I NS) (13.5) 4) Flintridge Prep-La Canada (PREP-SS) 35.7 13) Cuyama Valley-New Cuyama (CVL-SS) (11.7) 6) Sierra-Tollhouse (CSL-CS) 31.4 11) St. Joseph’s Academy-San Marcos (OCE-SD) 19.5 3) Branson-Ross (NCII-NCS) 35.8 14) Big Valley-Bieber (CA-II NS) (1.5) 7) Chadwick-Palos Verdes Peninsula (PREP-SS) 29.1 10) Coast Union-Cambria (CVL-SS) 20.1 2) Sage Hill-Newport Beach (PREP-SS) (48.4) 15) Fulton- LA Van Nuys (VALLEY-LA) (4) Idea #2 My second idea is a four-team tournament. I would break the state up into 3 regions: North (Northern, North Coast, Central Coast, and Central Sections), South (Los Angeles and San Diego Sections), and Southern Section. The Southern Section would get its own region, because it has about as many leagues as the rest of the sections combined. The top-rated team in each region, plus an at-large would be in the playoffs. 1) California School for the Deaf-Riverside (TCP-SS) (52.7) (Southern) 4) Victory Christian-Chula Vista (OCE- SD) (31.3) (South) 3) Fresno Christian (CSL-CS) (48.4) (North) 2) Faith Baptist-LA Canoga Park (IND-SS) 49.5 (At-Large)
