Class AA Dominant favroites

[scorekeeper]

The favorite, lower seed, in the play-in games went a remarkable 5-0, without a single upset

Even more remarkable, through 24 quarterfinal games so far (8 to go), the favorite, lower seed, is an astonishing 23-1.

That's a combined total of 28-1 so far. Outstanding!

(Only upset to date is AV beating CDH)

If this holds up, Minnesota Coaches should pool their money and starrt a Las Vegas wagering syndicate. A simply outstanding job of seeding teams correctly, with only 1 upset through the first 29 games.

I find this especially interesting since 15 of the 16 #1 seeds (Class A & AA) last year advanced to the Excel Center.

Let's see if they continue with this amazing crystal ball and repeat the feat.

I suspect Saturday will screw things up a bit, as it usually does.

As always, Lee's PS2 has a fun feature where it compares the computerized rankings to the human seeds--looks like they've been in complete agreement so far: http://minnhock.com/boys2013.htm

Usually the computer wins, but the humans have pulled it out on occasion.

They haven't been in agreement, but have tied 3-3 in those six games featuring a differing opinion. (Thanks for tying it up, I Falls!)
