one thing that would help playoffs is if they would rank the teams before the playoffs (like some other states do) and match them that way. so you don't find the best teams playing each other in the third round.

That's really hard to do. What objective method is there for that, without
playing common schedules? But in any event, those of us who want to
improve the playoffs by at least eliminating 4th seeds aren't trying to eliminate all blowouts. What we are trying to do is eliminate a system
that by design creates an overwhelming percentage of 1st rd games
between #1 and #4 seeds that CANNOT be competitive. And that
is an OBJECTIVE KNOWN, because these teams spent the season
demonstrating that they CANNOT be competitive.

And of the handful of #4's that can be competitive with another
district's #1's, hjow many can in turn then end up being competitive
with their own #1? Maybe .001%?
