There's no formula. Head-to-head matchups and records within the section are the most important things, but those won't decide this one, barring some improbable upset along the way.hockeylover wrote:How do they decide the seeds? I know the coaches get together and hash it out but how much does strength of schedule help a team get a better seed? How many top ten teams has Edina played and how many have Jefferson and AHA played? Is there a concrete formula they use or not?
Edina has 8 wins over top-10 teams: EP and Wayzata twice, plus Blaine, Tonka, AHA, and BSM. They also beat Woodbury, who I have at #11.
Jefferson has 2: Wayzata and EP.
Holy Angels hasn't beaten any, though they do have quality wins over Hill and two out-of-state prep schools. They have notable losses to Edina and Tonka, and tied WBL.
This is probably going to end up messily, with the argument coming down to how much Edina's 2 losses against a much more difficult schedule hurt them. Edina also has a few tough games left, most notably 2 with Minnetonka. EP is the only hard game left on Jefferson's schedule.
