conferences that get to send 5 teams to the playoffs???

[Rocker]

I have a question if anyone can answer what conferences get to send 5 teams to the playoffs and who decides what conference/conferences that get to do this.

Im not sure which conferences get to have 5 teams this year but they rotate that privilege just like they do with Bye weeks. Nashville barely made it last year as a 5 seed and they ended up winning two games in the playoffs.

Cave City was able to do that a couple of years back in 07, when we were in 3a, of course we traveled all the way to mountainburg and lost pretty bad.

All conferences now send 5 teams, they did this to cut down on all the 1 seeds having a bye round. Now only 2 teams a year have a bye round. If my memory serves me correctly the 1-4 & 4-4a have the bye round this year.

That is correct.

And to balance that out, these two will have home field to the finals.

That is correct.

And to balance that out, these two will have home field to the finals.

Although I don't see any team from those conferences being anywhere near the finals.

Having 5 teams from each conference make the playoffs is just another example of the aaa watering down and cheapening championships for the sake of $$$
