I've never understood why they can't do an 8 team single elimination state championship at least at the D1 level.

The teams would be the top 2 CMass, the top 2 WMass, and the 4 D1 EMass Conference winners. It would give an opportunity to give EMass the beating they deserve.

Do you really think its fair to put 4 power house east mass teams in the playoff when the only teams that can compete with them are leominster, fitchburg and springfield central year in and out

Unless you want to make D-1 football a statewide thing, and reshape every conference and then go by some sort of rating system, its only fair. The way Massachusetts runs things is really unfair, but you have to work within the system given.

I'm guessing that you believe it would be more fair if we had 6 EMass, 1 CMass, and 1WMass. That may be but we can only go with what we are given and what we are given is conference winners.

If the only teams that are good in CMass are Fitchburg and Leominster so be it. (Well except for the fact that each season I go it with the eternal hope that Leominster will go 0-11).

The fact is we would need at least a preliminary statewide system before deciding otherwise. I am in total agreement (with what you implied) that the 2nd WMass entry would get smoked, but if its going to come down to the 4 EMass powerhouses then let it happen, the other teams couldn't win their conference and shouldn't be there. Also it will end the arguement of EMass supremacy and can Fitchburg (or Spr. Central or Spr. Cathedral or that other school) really beat the top EMass teams.
