7 vs. 8
5 vs. 13
2 vs. 9
1 BGM - I don't believe they'll win the title, but what they've done to date is an easy top 4 pick.
2 Lo-Ma - Defending Champs, wins over CBSA and Audubon. Underwood loss looks better than before.
3 Denver - I think the Gladbrook win is a good win. DNH is a tough team to face even with a full lineup.
4 Garrigan - I'm not real sure why I don't have them #1 from Poky and BK wins. Even field this year I guess.
5 West Sioux - Not scoring in the 60's like some teams, but 8-0. LB & AW are decent wins.
6 Gladbrook-Reinbeck - Find me a team with only 2 losses where the 2 teams are better than Denver & DNH.
7 Mt. Ayr - Albia has been steamrolling, Shenendoah is quietly 6-2. Beat a tough Pleasantville team.
8 Pekin - Could easily flip with WMU, Played Lone Tree better. Compare them to BGM with SK game.
9 Winfield Mt. Union - Not a tough schedule. Only reason not higher is I think Pekin beats them.
10 Audubon - You could make a case for higher, I'm just not sure IKM and AHSTW are what they have been.
11 West Hancock - Pretty credible source said they only beat BK because of a Sander ankle roll.
12 Belmond-Klemme - If you want higher you can't lose to the only 2 good teams you play. (ankle roll)
13 Pleasantville - Colfax win is decent, close loss to MA. Top scoring defense.
14 CBSA - Treynor loss looks bad. If they beat Audubon I'd move them into top 10.
15 Maquoketa Valley - Possibly the most underrated team in class A right now?
16 Akron-Westfield - West Sioux and Hinton aren't bad losses. Not any eye-popping wins. Westwood game was better than CBSA, but that's not how it always works.
