Regionals Seedings

I've been called out. The people (or person) want regionals seedings. I was going to ignore posting seedings, although I did certainly think about it. I'd rather post predictions once the real seedings are out. Here's how I'd do it though:

1. The Chad Larson Experience--Wins at Madison and Cooler. Finals at Aquatennial. 6th at Tune-Ups with a quarterfinals loss. Won their section. Losses to Moe (in July), Briefcase (8-7, the game didn't even get to halftime), and Meth (in a consolation game). This seed may be arguable, but the only other team that could potentially be here is Briefcase. I don't think Moe could argue into first, and Briefcase hasn't won a tournmant besides sectionals...ever. In fact, finals at CHCs this year may have been their first finals experience in two years.

2. Flaming Moe--Win at Aquatennial. Finals at Madison and Cooler. Semis of Tune-Ups. Won their section. I think this is another sure bet. Briefcase could be here, but Moe makes finals and Briefcase doesn't. Moe did lose to Briefcase, but by one point. Moe has clearly had the better season.

3. Mr. Briefcase--If these people deserved the second seed, well they can prove it when Moe and Briefcase potentially play in semifinals. Put together a good Sunday at CHCs, but that is all they've ever done.

4. Ice--Not an impressive season so far, but at least they've played a season. Carleton hasn't.

5. Carleton--2nd in their section, also played CHCs but did what? Doesn't matter, they've been to nationals 3 years in a row.

6. Seiche

7. Meddling Kids

I don't mean to be rude from here on out, but I'm not going to complete the seedings. First, I have to be at practice in five minutes, I'm late. Second, none of the rest of the teams have a very good shot at making nationals. Neither do Seiche or Meddling Kids, but I threw them in there anyway. I don't mean to say that these teams shouldn't be at regionals, nor do I want to marginalize them so quickly, but from here on out, seedings are not too important. Nor or they that important up above, just win your games.

I wrote out this big rant that dealt with viewpoint and averages and whatnot, but after looking back, I'd say I agree with your seedings. Damn, no conflict. Guess that means less hits on the ol blog, slugger.
