I should've paid more respect to Harvey and their tradition. In the four class system, the gap between AA and A has always been small. The realignment last year didn't ruin 'A.' Watford may win it, but they'll have to earn it.
Bison, you can eat all the crow you want (upsets happen, and is Harvey beating anyone really an upset???) but I don't think you have to, I think what happened last weekend just strengthens the argument for going back to a three class system... You have two teams that no one can argue would be very competitive in Class AA this year playing Class A... (Watford and Hazen) you could at least add Harvey to that list and probably some others...
I could come up with a very competitive 24 (maybe 32)team AA... and then we could have an "elite 8" AAA and then all the 9-man and A schools can figures something out... maybe rotating State Championships where you play 9-man one year in the Dakota Bowl and 11 man the next... (This would be ideal for Steve34 I think) hahaha
I hope everyone can understand that last part was a total joke... but seriously now, you have Hazen getting beat by Harvey, and Watford having a scare in their game... Tells me that AA and A aren't that different... Why not combine the two... and make the bigger AA schools go back to AAA where they were not so long ago?
