State Championship? Ha!

You have got to be kidding me!

California finally gets around to developing a State Championship for High School Football, but it is really nothing more than a very bad joke.

There will be three state champions, because there are 3 divisions, actually six, 3 north and 3 south. That much I have no problem with. But the fact that the divisions are represented by a single team selected only by some arbitary ranking, means that there will never be a cinderella story team. It also means that while Backcountry high, who may very well have a worse team than SuperCathloic High, will never even get to dream. Instead, they'll watch 8-2 SuperCathloic, who had a "stronger schedule" win state while they finished 10-0. California needs a state playoff system. Even if this has SuperCathloic High eventually blowing out BackCountry High, it does allow for a dream.

Even if this High School age bastardization of the BCS develops a lasting regime, it needs to be reworked. If I'm gonna see computer championships, I want to see Concord De La Salle and Oaks Chiristian, the holders of the two longest active win streaks in the state, play for the state title, but no no no. There different different divisions.
