I'm a fan of having a seeding playoff rather than the pre-determined format we currently have. Look at some of the match-ups we've had and will have and it makes no sense:

-Wren/Berea (as someone already posted) was a 1st round match of 2 top 10 4A teams
-RB/Wando play tonight in the 2nd round & they're ranked 3rd & 4th, respectively, in the state.
-Academic Magnet boys & girls, who have been ranked in the top 2 in 3A all season, have to travel for 2nd round games and beyond.

I'm sure there's more anomalies as well. I do like CloverSoccer's idea of adding more wildcards and top seeds getting a bye. I'm definitely on board on joining that battle of extending the playoffs for soccer
