SG -

There's Injustice and there's injustice. That's why I stipulated "bureaucratic unfairness." That a team wins a game but doesn't advance in the playoffs based on a points-total formula seems to me the same sort of petty, officious absurdity that bedevils each of us every day. It's the football equivalent of frequent flyer blackout dates. Yes, those are the rules - but the rules are stupid.

It's not apartheid, certainly, but it's arbitrary and unfair, and an apt reflection of the world we've chosen to make for ourselves.

And even if we're writing about high school football, columns and features need to take a wider view of that world to really succeed.

I guess my point is/was, I'm not even sure it's unfair. I mean, there's got to be some sort of tiebreaking system, right?

How do your local high schools solve three-way ties for a final playoff spot and what not?
