The other side of that would be the teams that have to play a full schedule in conference..the Wpac and other small school conferences don’t have the chose I understand what you'r saying because the WPIAL puts together all of the conferences based on the class given to the schools. It puts Clairton...

That idea would make the Class A finals Homer City vs Jeannette eliminating Farrell and Steel-High from being able to compete in the Class A playoffs. What makes this horrible is look at Clairton's schedule the past 10 years. 80-0/90-0 games will become the norm. This would also have eliminated SCA'...

Terrible idea. Schools like Serra Catholic would simply stop playing football. They barely beat Class A schools, telling them they gotta play 5A would be the end of their program. Plus schools like North Catholic, Bishop Canevin and Seton La Selle would end up in 6A. Of all the ideas suggested, this...

But when was Class A ball ever fun? BG had a incredible streak and it gets unfairly tarnished due to recruiting accusations. Clairtons streak was a bit tarnished due to pregame/postgame antics.

I still say, split each class into 6 team divisions. 5 division games and 5 out of division games. That way results for playoffs can be decided by playing teams your own class level but you can have more local games or higher caliber teams you can schedule them your 2nd 5 I'll say that this is a go...

If and when the PIAA decides to do something different with how they align their teams, playing where you are placed based off your enrollment is the right thing to do. There's no added incentive to play above your enrollment for anyone, unless it makes your regular season travel more manageable, l...
