I believe that making it harder to get in the playoffs would be the greatest thing to happen to Kentucky High School football in the last decade. It would create a sense of urgnecy within the teams that "hey, we can't just disregard the regular season games or go lightly torwards the end of the season to protect from injury...these games actually matter." If the regular season games matter, IMO, you should see an elevated level of play each and every game.
LIke so, If a team is in the same district as a team that is traditionally a very good football program, then they can't just say, "we're gonna make it to the playoffs and further whether we beat them or not." They would be forced to push themselves to a higher caliber team.
Look at our football friend to the north who is cnosistently named a top 5 football factory in the country. Ohio uses the harbin point system in which every game is crucial and you must win the big games.
