If the 6A Playoffs began today!

As most of you are all aware, the www.kshsaa.org began a new playoff system introduced in January of last year.

For all 6 & 5A Football schools (64 in all) will be rid of the District playoff system which lasted for 38 years. With a better understanding of the current standings (Not Sunflower/Eastern Kansas) related, the brackets are in temporary form on a great Kansas webpage called www.preppowerindex.com. This provides timely up to date records of all High School Football teams from 6A all the way to 8-man I & II. If you are an alumni of a Kansas High School outside of the Johnson, Douglass, and Leavenworth counties, this is a place to check out!

* Home teams are seeded 1-8, while road teams are 9-16.
* KC Wyandotte has only scheduled seven (7) regular season home games
* SMSD #512, Olathe #233, and BVSD #229 are all on the same playing field and SFL and EKL do not really matter at this point.
* Stadium availability will also determine a possible Thursday/Friday game regardless of the seed the school is playing at. ST Aquinas and SJ Academy share Mircoke Field at ST Aquinas, while the SMSD's and Olathe, Blue Valley's all share facilities as well.
