To make a change at this juncture is to suggest that there has been something wrong with the previous system for the last 30-40 years. I'm of the opinion that there was nothing wrong with the previous system. Any system that makes it possible for a team with a losing record to make the playoffs is broken system to start with. It seems that in some cases, all a school has to do is field a team and it qualifies for the playoffs. If that's the case, why even have a playoff?

You have some private schools with 1 or 2 wins all year that are in the playoffs. That is ridiculous. you havent earned the right to be in the playoffs with a record like that. No sense of acheivement in it anymore. Anybody can go to the playoffs

Couldnt agree more. When I coached we had no business even being in a playoff race being 2 and 8. That is a joke. I think something needed to be done to separate the football powerhouses from the public schools. My dad grew up in Vinton, LA, which is a 2A. How the hell does one honestly expect a Vinton team to ever compete with Episcopal, Calvary Baptist or even Newman (their 7 seeded select counterpart)? Something needed to be done but this system was way off target. The powerhouses need to be at one level and the generic public schools need to be in another. But realistically, Louisiana does not have enough teams overall to fully impliment that system. I like the attempt by the LHSAA but the end result really missed.
