They are talking about going back to 32. If they do they will take 1 game off the regular season and go with 32. I'm hoping they keep it like it is.
Yes. There are multiple forums on iowa preps discussing this. They polled the coaches and something like 85% supported going back to 32 teams qualifying. 4A would find a way to do 24.
I miss the days when there were 8 districts per class with 2 teams from each district making the playoffs. The switch came when I was in highschool and I thought it was stupid. We got to the post season when we shouldn't have my senior year and got our asses kicked in round one.
The current system isnt great, but I prefer it over 32 teams. The RPI system used certainly needs work. Why they dont pay BCMoore and just use those rankings is beyond me.
