I think the odds of making the playoffs next year is poor unless this region is given more than 4 slots (a possibility with 8 teams.)

Sorry, I was quoting Shibumi in reference to Lexington, whom I think you had quoted also. I would imagine that if the upperstate does not change their format, the lowerstate will not be able to either, in regards to Region V having 5 playoff teams. Unless I am mistaken, upper and lower state must have consistent seeding formats during a calendar year.
