Herbstreit "Classic"?

The Herbstreit "Classic" as it's called was a major letdown.  Why did they pit large 5A Texas schools against much smaller opponents?  Skyline played Cocoa, FL, which has won the last two 2A FL championships.  Desoto played OK Douglass, which the paper said would be 3A if they were in TX with an enrollment of just over 500.  Neither game was competitive, similar to Trinity smashing Shiloh Christian last year.  The Desoto game was really embarrassing, while the Skyline game score looked way closer than the quality of the teams.  They need to do a much better job pairing teams or this thing will become a joke.
