This was a Panic Move by the SJS and very short sighted by the other Nor Cal Commissioners to agree to…..Originally, this was the DLS rule to make sure NorCal's second-best team got into the bowl business and wasn't eliminated by the Spartans. DLS is not quite what it once was and several other programs have raised their game. So, yes, it's worth taking another look at a NorCal Open Division title contest.
I am assuming this question is for NorCal…. No one is questioning what so cal does because their open champion is crowned on the field in SS D1…..It makes sense in the north but the south already has a de facto play in game
That seems like it would be the likely Matchup….. CN vs Serra….Under a playoff setup, the NorCal Open this year would pit Clovis North against Serra. Division I would pit DLS against Folsom. Correct? Also, another reason for the DLS rule is that SoCal is so deep in quality teams, many more than the North. SoCal can afford to eliminate some of its top units. NorCal, not so much.
This is true that last few years for the south but generally one should make decisions that cover multi-year scenarios. You will hear fan screams of terror if the top SDS team has to climb through the current defacto Trinity team Open candidate.It makes sense in the north but the south already has a de facto play in game
Not sure what you mean here... CIF, via the vote of all section leaders, did set the rule for the Open division straight to SBG. Maybe you mean something else aside from the thread topic?Maybe it's time CIF set the same rules for both North and South.
Bringing back the Open play-in doesn't make for a real playoff championship. Only a true state playoff system, similar to Texas, make a real playoff system. Anything short of that is simply a committee selected bowl game - which it is now.So make it a real championship in Nor Cal and bring back the open play in and make it a relevant championship in Nor Cal like SSD1 is in So Cal…..
True…. I am all for a TX style playoff in CA but the Sections will never allow that….Bringing back the Open play-in doesn't make for a real playoff championship. Only a true state playoff system, similar to Texas, make a real playoff system. Anything short of that is simply a committee selected bowl game - which it is now.
