People dont realize the PA season is way too long. 16 games is insane to think of for high school football champions. Thats as many for any nfl team that misses playoffs and 2 or more than a college team in fbs

So then based on next season's schedule, the regular season should have ended October 30 (or 31).  Then how many weeks of playoffs - 4, 5? You'll have 90-100 teams per classification, so a 32 team/5 week playoff is fair I think (Dec 4-5).  So every team in the field represents 3 teams: D6-A should have 6 of those 32 slots, D5 gets 2, WPIAL gets 8, D9 gets 4, D10 gets 2, D1 gets 1, D2 gets 1, D3 gets 1, D4 gets 2, D11 gets 2, and D12 gets 1. So for D1/2/3/12 - they have to figure out a fair way to determine which team gets in. D4/5/10/11 can have a championship game and no more; D9 can play two rounds, and D6 and 7 get three rounds.  This is pretty close to current, but no byes - those are so stupid.

I already said my belief. Have 16 districts. Hold teams to have to play those teams, make a 9 game schedule. Then only the 16 district winners go to playoffs. 4 games from there, 13 max games total

I agree, but it won't happen. And too much change and WPIAL will soil their diapers.

I honestly think next year it will be nearly the same as it has been with a few changes. The season being shorter the main one then the following year we should see more changes. I don't see the PIAA over hauling the whole system in one off season I could be wrong though.

Is classification still determined by your grades 10-12 male enrollment? Should they consider making classification consist across all sports by school, ie if you are A in one sport you are A in all sports and base it on total enrollment (with modifications for single gender like Central Catholic and Oakland Catholic)?

You're making too much common sense!
