The dumbest thing about these football playoffs is that the top seed doesn't always gets the home game. Stevenson is #1 and if they win, they will have to play the state semifinal on the road.

I know it's been that way for at least since I was in hs. What's their reasoning behind that?

Here's what they do and I hate it: If a team has not had a home game yet, they get the home game. If both teams have had a home game and one team was on the road the previous week then they host. If both teams hosted a playoff game the previous week, it goes to the higher seed. It's dumb. It's the way it's always been though.

I'd like their reasoning on why the #1 team has to go on the road for a state semifinal.

 

"Well, because it's not fair that they've had more home games/"

 

Um, yes it is. THEY'RE #1!!!

 

 

I was on two state title teams at Lockport in 2002 and 2003. We were always on the road late in the playoffs. You just deal with it. It is a dumb rule though.
