For the State, The Fans and the good of Football in Hawaiʻi…(NOT Self-Interest):
There “should” be at least One or Two ʻWild Cardʻ Best-Ranked-Not-in-the-Playoffs Team —
The multi-entry league(s) donʻt care ʻcos they have already have too many irrelevant teams in there…
FOR The Championship, Top Six or Top Eight No Matter where from should be enough…
DII, four should be enough….
SAME True for BCS…
