MCFARLAND -- After a deep playoff run in the WIAA playoffs, the McFarland football team takes the field ready to achieve even greater heights in 2011. "We're going to try to learn from the past, especially the determination that was needed for that

Poll Question: Should The WIAA Have A Committee Seed State ...
Earlier today Doug Pacey of the Tacoma News Tribune reported that Washington State Football Coaches Association is suggesting they officially expand the football playoffs to 32 teams and have a committee of retired coaches and athletic directors seed the teams, replacing the current format which has teams slotted biased on predetermined league finishes.
The latest example from the 2010 playoffs that Pacey talked about was when #2 Lynden hosted #3 Tumwater in the first round of the 2A playoffs.
That same round, #1 Archbishop Murphy hosted #4 W.F. West resulting in the top 4 ranked teams in 2A playing not in the semifinals, but in the round of 16.
Over the past couple of years, the Greater St. Helens League has also had to deal with the quarks that come with a pre-determined slotted playoff system.
In 2009 Camas entered the preliminary round (round of 32) with a 7-2 record and a #9 ranking in 3A. Finishing 2nd in the 3A GSHL gave the Papermakers a home game and what you would think is an easy opponent before entering the true first round of state (round of 16). As ESPN college football analyst Lee Corso would say, “Not so fast my friend!” Camas hosted the #2 team from the 3A KingCo, which just happened to be Liberty, the #4 ranked team in state. Camas lost at home to the Patriots 32-22 ending the Papermakers season, while Liberty went on a nice run to the state finals before losing to KingCo #1 seed Bellevue.
What makes the 2009 Camas example even more frustrating is the fact that the same season, Columbia River who finished 4-5 and 3rd in the 3A GSHL had a much easier task in the 2009 preliminary round. The Chieftains did have to go on the road, however it was up in Seattle against a 5-4 Nathan Hale squad who finished #2 in the Metro League. Columbia River hammered the Raiders 41-18 advancing to the state playoffs, while Camas, who had spent most of the 2009 season ranked in the top 10 was out.
Fast forward to 2010 and the 3A GSHL faced the same situation where #2 Mountain View drew a much tougher opponent in Timberline than #3 Kelso did with Seattle Prep. Again the GSHL #3 advanced to state while the #2 did not.
The 4A GSHL has not avoided this either.
Last season entering week 9, Union was riding a 7 game winning streak and sat at #8 in the AP poll. Meanwhile up north Bothell was also riding it’s own 7 game winning streak and held the #4 AP ranking. (Both Union and Bothell had not lost since week 1 games at Qwest Field in the Emerald City Kickoff Classic.
