There is a better way to run the playoffs for soccer... Seeding Committee for ALL classifications!!
I was a member of the Seeding Committee for most of the years that we were 1A and 2A. It is by far the most fair way to determine playoff match-ups.
HOWEVER... here would be my modification for 3A, 4A and 5A. In those classifications, you use region results to determine the 16 teams who qualify for playoff consideration. From those 16 teams, the Committee seeds the teams accordingly.
From there, run the playoff schedule as it is currently set up.
