Steve’s take: I like it. This should pave the way for more-balanced playoff brackets. Also when a team dominates in a division, the entire league doesn’t have to suffer when CIF-SS decides that team should play in a more-challenging division. Teams, over a two-year period, will be placed in a division that is equal to their talent level. It looks all positive.
