Preseason Rankings

I know the AP doesn't put out any preseason rankings, as no one knows the classes before the day of the first games (that's still crazy to me btw), but I figured we could attempt something. We have a pretty good understanding of who will be in each class besides maybe the borderline teams.

Class 1:
Marionville
Adrian (if they are Class 1)
No clue otherwise. I do believe Portageville will move up.

Class 2:
1. Lamar
2 - 8. Valle Catholic, Fair Grove, Lafayette County, Adrian, Bowling Green, Father Tolton, South Shelby in some order I'm guessing

Class 3:
1. Blair Oaks
2. Seneca
Not too sure after this. Pius moves up, PHC lost almost entire skill group and good crew of linemen. Any insights?

Class 4
1. Kearney
2. Lutheran North
3. Smithville (just because)
4 - 10. Not sure...Hillsboro or Festus this season? Who else?

Class 5
1. Cardinal Ritter
2. A mess

Class 6
1. Liberty North
2. DeSmet
3. CBC
4. Lee's Summit North
5. Rockhurst
6 - 10. Nixa, Howell, Rock Bridge, a whole bunch of KC schools, a whole bunch of STL schools. Great quality top 15 or so.

Help me out here!

District Release Instant React

Reminder: Semifinal Rotation this year is Districts 1/2 vs Districts 5/6 and Districts 3/4 vs Districts 7/8. Class 0.5 will be 1 vs 3 and 2 vs 4

Class 0.5: The best two teams are in the same district. But with only 4, it had to be that way unfortunately. Ironic Veer trashed this class last year and now the Blackhawks will go for the title. He's smiling big today.

Class 2: Pretty balanced throughout. Lamar has a CAKEWALK to semifinals in the weakest 2 district setup I've seen in a while. Like win every game by 50+ type deal. Districts 7 and 8 also would be "down" compared to some others. District 3 is very good and Fair Grove would likely await in the Quarters.

Class 3: BO vs Maryville round 2 in the semis? Seneca to the title game. L4L joins Class 3 and could make semifinals instantly. I hear good things about Dexter down south.

Class 4: Lutheran North easiest district ever, they vs Kearney in the semis. Hillsboro/Festus the other side favorites?

Class 5: Ritter gets shipped south. District 2 is a beast. District 7 is a beast. Districts 3 - 6 wide open

Class 6: Jackson vs CBC rematch. LSN vs Rock rematch? Rock vs Nixa rematch? Liberty North vs DeSmet semifinal?
