by nu2hockey
Just for fun, we have our STATE TOURNEY teams for class A ...
1A RED WING
2A NEW ULM
3A MARSHALL
4A SPU
5A BRECK
6A ALEXANDRIA
7A PROCTOR/HERMANTOWN
8A WARROAD
See if you can correctly seed these teams for the CLASS A STATE TOURNEY...plus, show how YOU would seed the tourney if it differs from how the coaches seed the teams
remember they only seed 1-5 and have 3 unseeded teams who are drawn to play against seeds 1-3
If you wish, try to pair the unseeded with your 1-3 seeds also

Most likely scenario...its straight LPH rankings...however I am not sold on Alex right now..
1. Warroad
2. Breck
3. Red Wing
4. SPU
5. Alex
The one thing that seems apparent is that the GAP between the top teams and the unseeded teams is a whole lot closer than previous years...
The Class A TOURNEY could be a fun show

Yup, 3 - 5 are pretty tight, but Alex has been rock solid the last half of the year, winning 12 of 13 with the only loss a closely contested match against Breck. They really toughened up their schedule this year.

Not my prediction, but interesting how KRACH had them ranked when last done on February 3rd:
1. Breck
2. Warroad
3. Alexandria
4. Red Wing
5. St. Paul United

And, for what's it's worth, QRF (which is up-to-date) has them:
1. Red Wing
2. Breck
3. Warroad
4. St. Paul United
5. Alexandria

Now we have our class AA teams:
SEC 1AA LVL SOUTH
SEC 2AA EDEN PRAIRIE
SEC 3AA EAGAN
SEC 4AA HILL MURRAY
SEC 5AA CENTENNIAL
SEC 6AA EDINA
SEC 7AA ANDOVER
SEC 8AA BRAINERD/LITTLE FALLS

I think the top 3 have to be:
1. EDINA (2 losses,1 tie)
2. CENTENNIAL(3 losses,1 tie)
3. HILL MURRAY (4 losses)
Since they went 1-1 against each other...
4. probably ANDOVER
5. ?

KRACH agrees but would have put Eagan and Brainerd in front of EP.

I was looking at KRACH ranking today and it seems like it is missing some games for a few teams.

I'll take a look. Thanks for the heads up.

So far only difference I'm seeing is non mshsl games not included in KRACH but that's expected. Warroad, for example, has some of those so their KRACH record will contain fewer games in total.
If there are others, please let me know.

Oh... that makes sense, I didn't think of those games. I was looking at game totals only. Sorry!

No problem. Appreciate the second set of eyes on this. Note that LSQ does include those games and they are part of the teams' official records, obviously.
