Just for reference, Oregon is going from four classes to six next year, and they are stating that there will definitely be more teams in the play-offs, and more refs needed, than in previous years. Each class will have its own play-off rounds, and tournament, so the number of games will go up 50%.
Nevermind what it does for refs, I think this will be a great thing for the players. Lots more kids get the post-season experience, and lots of schools that would never have been able to get into the play-offs, now will. This is definitely an improvement.

Juulie,
Every school in our state plays in the post season. All the classes are going to do is change who they will play in order to win a state title. Teams in our state are just seeded. So a team that has not won a single game all year will play at least one game in the playoffs. That is why it is called "America's Original March Madness."
The only sport that you have to qualify for the playoffs is in football. All other state run sports everyone has a chance to win a state title.
Peace
