Now as you know, in an effort to kill all fan interest in high school football, the KHSAA has adopted one of the silliest playoff systems in the country.  We have six state champions, which is at least two too many, and we have five rounds of playoffs, which is also two too many.  So I'm not going to pay any attention to the playoffs until we get down to the quarterfinals.  In any event, I'm more interested in the final rankings in Max Preps than in the state playoffs anyway.
