If anyone needs a better reason to get rid of the coaches from seeding themselves in the City Section football playoffs, then the Division II pairings are the perfect example.

Coaches were voting for teams based on who they wanted to play, not based on ability. At least that’s my observation. That’s why several top teams in the division are near the bottom of the bracket.

There were so many conflict of interests that if the meeting had been televised, people would have cringed in embarrassment.

Yes, Division II was much more difficult to seed than Division I because there were more teams, but the end result is nothing to be proud about.

Somebody better figure out a plan to use an independent panel, as is done with basketball and baseball.
