Always good stuff but don't forget the power of Coach Randolph at the seeding meeting DJ. Much more influential than your posts on the blog and prayers. Btw if it does play out I see Rapids 'easily' being done after the semis to a DM team.
If East takes care of business in thier section
Games, they'll be no lower than 3 and 4-6 will be a toss up between CEC,DM, Flake.

Marshall dominated and shut out East 4-0. If they beat Rapids, do they have a legitimate shot at the 3?

Possibly should be, but their loss to Cloquet (7-0??) hurts.

Elk River: Win both section games will be #1. Lose one will be #1.
Lose both will fall to 2, maybe 3.
Grand Rapids: No section games left. If ER loses both may get #1, but for sure #2. Cannot do anything for themselves to move up, BUT if ER stumbles and GR wins out or close to it that may give them #1
BUT if they win out and win section they could get a 1-5 seed at state.
Duluth East: If win both could get #1, stranger things have happened. If they beat SR and CEC and lose to ER, they stay at 3. Lose to FL and/or CEC could tumble to 4 or 5.
Cloquet: Need to beat East for any chance to move up in seed, need to beat DM for the 4th seed, otherwise they 5.
Duluth Marshall: Need to beat CEC to get the 4th seed.
Forest Lake: Could argue for the 4th spot right now. Could be in the 6th spot right now. Need to beat DEast for the 4th spot.
The bottom 3 will stay as listed unless St Francis bats Andover in their game then they flip flop.
