Case and point is 4A boys. Last night Berea played at Wren. Berea (maxpreps #7) earned the 3 seed and played at 2 seed Wren (maxpreps #6). Greenville (maxpreps #13) was given an at-large bid and played at South Pointe (maxpreps #23). Maxpreps rankings aren't the end all, but they are a relative indicator in comparing teams. It makes no sense for an at-large team to have an easier match in the playoffs than a team that finished above them in their own region.
