MSHSAA Looking at New High School Football Playoff Format

by Jeff Fisher
Missouri High School Football Huddle

Jeff McNiell of the Houston Herald is reporting today that the Missouri State High School Activities Association is going to examine whether to abandon the current playoff system for a new format.

The 2011 season will mark the fourth year in a four-year trial period for a playoff system that advances the two top teams from each district to the post-season.

According to McNiell's story, the MSHSAA is requesting input from its member schools about the current system and two other options.  Aside from the current system, another option is to return to the playoff system used from 1988 to 2007, which qualified one team from each four-team district.  The other is to play a nine-game regular season with the 10th week starting a tournament that would involve every team in the state.
