Fifty years ago, the TSSAA held its first football playoffs. Since then, area teams have won their share of postseason football contests. But how do area schools rank against each other? In order to create a ranking that was a mix of current and past, points were awarded for the following accomplishments: — 18 points for a state title — 12 points for reaching the finals — 8 points for a semifinal appearance — 6 points for a quarterfinal appearance — 2 points for each playoff victory — 1 point for each consecutive year reaching playoffs Under this scoring system, each team’s total reflects only the finishing point of a given year.
