It's just too bad we can't use a relegation/promotion system. That way the best teams would play each other and the weaker teams would have a chance.

On another note, some states do have a way of "bumping up" private schools. (1 to 1.4 rule) for every student that student counts as 1.4. so a school with 100 boys would count as 140 boys. This usually bumps up some of the private schools and makes the season a bit more competitive in the tournament for them.
