Top 3 is correct. 

The rest is hard to tell, as it is still early and most of the guys in the AP are only truly familiar with one or two of these teams.

I agree. There are a lot of good teams in Class A, but only three right now who have a realistic shot at playing in Chattanooga in December. Whoever comes out of Region 1/2 could make it interesting for South Pitt since they would host. As for the West, Fayetteville deserves every bit of respect as the defending champions and would be hosts of the semifinals, but Peabody will certainly be an uphill battle for anyone. Whichever team makes it to December will certainly have earned it.

My dark horse in the East is Cloudland.  I just don’t know if they play a tough enough schedule to prepare them for the playoffs.  Don’t they return a lot?

It's a reality this year that we could make it to the 4th round.  We just don't have enough guns to go to war with you all.  The starting 11 are studs but we can only sub 2 players

Fayetteville and Peabody are proven champions who both return enough to take home gold again this year, but McKenzie is big, fast, athletic, and hungry. Not ready to predict a Reb win against either, but if (when) they meet, I want to be there.

I believe my SP team has a high chance of making it, but realistically the best games prior to State will come in the quarters and semis in the West.

You guys are the pick from the East by a wide margin right now. From the West, there are two no brainers (Trenton and Fayetteville) who both won it all last year, but have a very good and hungry team nipping their heels. Somebody will have to hit McKenzie in the mouth to get to where they want to be.
