Make a case for someone else other than using my computerized rating system. I mean, you don't really think that the coaches care about that, do you? Or are you grasping at straws here?
In a similar vein, do you know what the criteria is for seeding in section 7AA? If so, what is your argument for anyone else getting the top seed
if East beats Cloquet tomorrow night?
You might want to spend some time comparing how the teams in this section have fared against one another this season. It'll save you from making statements which are so easily rebutted.
Your turn.

Sure, he might be right (but in this case, I sincerely doubt it).

Ok I will give you that. If East wins tomorrow night they should get the 1 seed considering the section records of the teams but I have just spent five minutes on a poem so I want to share it
It has occurred to me that a certain argument has come to light
Will it be Cloquet or Duluth East that will have to wear the away white?
The smart fans are confident of who it should be
East already fell to their knees and for mercy did they plea
How can one honor a team like that with a number one seed
Especially since East doesn’t possess the Lumberjack strength and speed
The hounds also showed they can’t defend their home ice
So before you praise East I suggest you think twice
Because after CEC claims victory over the hounds one more time
East will be stuck with an even higher mountain to climb
Which will pave the perfect path for the Lumberjacks, clear and straight
So that East will have to dream about next year as Cloquet goes to state
Party time
(P.S. Don't ask me why I am even arguing this, I like Duluth East too

but Grand Rapids is probably my favorite team in the section. I am CRAZY )

Also, BIAFP, who would you put at the three spot other then GR?
Common Opponents

CEC and East record against common opponents is CEC 7-1, and East 7-0. CEC is currently 1-0 head to head, and I suppose that would be the tie breaker going into Tuesday's game. East wins, then they get the #1 seed. CEC wins they get the number one seed, but only if they beat Brainerd. IF CEC loses to Brainerd after beating East, you have the conundrum of 3 teams with 2 section loses, GR, East, and CEC. Throw out section records and you have East and CEC with identical records against common opponents. Ish....I think they'll just end up setting up a 7-10 split and let the coaches roll until the first one knocks it down, they get #1, end of discussion.

Maybe this mess of a section would be easier to go backwards from. (fluctations likely)
10.Northern Lakes
9. St. Francis
8. Cambridge
7. Andover
I'd say those 4 are their somewhere
then:
6.Forest Lake?
5.Elk River?
4. Brainerd?
3.GR
2.DE
1.CEC

Paranoid?
Late season matters more than early season. Whoever wins now, gets #1 seed. Same goes down the line...

Serously, the best team is Elk River.
Just because they got fluked a couple of times should not stop them from getting the #1 seed.
But they won't, its all about East and their political machine.
Is one enough, Lee.
Okay...
And I cannot add a rollie.....
