TSSAA wise in scrapping current playoff format

The "give everyone a trophy" experiment has about run its course.

In Tennessee High School football, the TSSAA went to a system last year that put 32 teams in Class 6A and allowed all 32 to participate in the playoffs.

Consider that test run over because the "Super 32" format will be done away with after the upcoming season that begins across the state on Aug. 18.

It was actually Siegel coach Greg Wyant who was so adamantly opposed to the current system that he said "give everyone a trophy," so I can't take credit for that.
