Stumbled across a video of the Arizona “Open” division state championship game. This is the first year they have implemented this new format. The top 8 teams in the states top divisions (3 of 6) were put into a separate playoff bracket. This was determined by some computer formula.

Imagine how great that would be in Illinois. Let’s just use the finalists in 5A-8A. Slot the champs in as the top 4 and the runners up as the next 4.
1. LWE vs. 8. St. Rita
4. Rochester vs 5. Warren
2. MC vs 7. PR
3. ESL vs 6. Naz
