Not surprising. No bye weeks...going to be some blowouts. Hopefully will help teams that have a hard time scheduling local games (i.e. Clyde) now that more are making the postseason. Makes need for 8-team conferences even less important, IMO.

Hopefully injuries don't occur.

Hopefully injuries occur. 🤔 Seems kinda harsh. |

Solves some issues for the divisions where there were loaded regions
two home games for top 4 seeds
doesn't seem all that bad...

1 vs 16, opening round...what a joke. Clock games at halftime. Mediocrity being rewarded

Using 2019 rankings, 1-9 teams 3 would’ve made playoffs, 2-8, 3-7...60 below .500 teams make the playoffs.

A cash grab by the OHSAA that’s going to result in low quality of play and more injuries for over matched low seeds.

Region 10 is going to be even worse with 16 teams in, well let's just say it was pretty weak last year But in all seriousness, not much gunna change it now. Coaches association released a statement that they were not in favor, but it won't matter |

Do conference realignment shenanigans matter as much when you can make the playoffs as a #10 after dealing with a more difficult conference slate? The incentive for dodging games is lowered.

Geez. At this point, they should just make the whole season a double elimination tournament and let everybody in. Give the top 8 teams a first-round bye and let 'er rip.
I dunno if there's a standard template set aside for CNC engraving of the word "Participant" onto trophies and plaques.
But there should be.

I’m not wild about this. I like the top 8 in and was okay with 12 but 16 is too many. There will be a lot of long bus rides for a serious beat down.

Will be interesting to see how some of the 9 and lower seed MAC teams do.

Like you played the same team during the regular season and were beat 60-0? Will some, I said “some” 9-16 seeds be better competition than the 8 seed? There are some pretty tough 4-6 teams that we know are better than that 9-1 with a weak schedule. |

AND now the OHSAA is going to levy a tax against all schools. Schools must pay the OHSAA $50 for each team they field. A cost to most schools of at least $1000. This will generate close to $1,000,000 for the OHSAA. The OHSAA first needs to do what most businesses, non-profits AND schools do when times are bad, make cuts. I'm sure if the OHSAA has already done such, the details would have been in the first paragraph of this announcement. |

Would like to see the OHSAA open their pocket book for reimbursement for some of these ridiculous bus rides there's gonna be.

when they said playoffs was the 2nd season, in this case they're not kidding... 7 playoff wins to win a state championship in football under this format. My guess is the first two rounds see alot of running clocks, and games over before 9..

One more game for only two teams (each region) in this format, for a chance to be a champion. I don't think any will decline.
It's also one more game for hundreds of Seniors that will never get a chance to play organized football again. Teams and schools have always had the chance to decline the playoffs if the sentiment is they don't want to play. They still can. I don't have the numbers, but I think it was a small percentage that opted out last year when everyone was eligible. I may be wrong, but I don't know of any top 16 teams that opted out last year.

I hadn’t heard of this tax...do you have a link about the tax? |

MNJ article this week. There would be an argument against the middle school teams, since it's the O High School AA. Not MS Middle schools belong to the OHSAA. However, they will not be assessed since they do not participate in the postseason events. In the events they do (CC and track) each entrant pays to enter already. When you eliminate the Tourneys form last Winter and Spring and have limited access this year, there is going to be a budget shortfall. Cutting services back anymore doesn't help the schools they serve as it is quite difficult to contact the OHSAA for current issues as it is from an AD perspective. |

IF for budget short fall, due to THE virus, we'll see how long the collection lasts. Like most all taxes, once they start they don't end. |
