D2 Seeding Predictions/Thoughts

[Ironman92]

Online bios close Wednesday night and coaches will submit by Friday at midnight.

Now...how will coaches work together and try to make things work for matchups/paths....will be difficult with all the teams in the super sectional.

Right now I’d guess seeding will go

1. Warren Local
2. Logan Elm
3. Hillsboro
4. Waverly
5. Sheridan
6. Jackson
7. Unioto
8. McClain
9. New Lexington
10. Fairfield Union
11. Athens
12. Vinton Co
13. Marietta
14. Gallia Academy
15. Miami Trace
16. Washington Ch
17. Circleville

Again, this is my GUESS, not what I believe it should be...though it’s pretty close

I think 5-7 are interchangeable. It’s just gonna come down to which coach likes different matchups at that point

I’m guessing teams will be trying to avoid FU and Marietta first round.

Pretty good list, Like you said earlier, it's going to be interesting to see where coaches put FU. They play a difficult non league schedule and beat Logan Elm, but that record is going to be hard to ignore. I don't know anything about Hillsboro, but Those 3-7 seeds could all be mixed around between those 5 teams.

It's much harder to avoid certain teams with the Super Secional. With teams being so close, it's just too hard to figure where those middle teams will fall.

[mlittle]

1. Warren
2. Logan Elm
3. Hillsboro
4. Waverly
5. Unioto

I’d be happy with a 5/6. Like we’ve said many times. No real easy path.

Hillsboro is very good. Decently tougher at home. I’ll bet they get some #1 seed votes (though I think that’s silly)....but they are a very good team and senior laden. Excellent guards. They can play.

I think Sheridan gets above Unioto IF they want to be. I’m not sure all the coaches will give FU the love necessary for that 8/9

[mlittle]

Should start another thread that says “what idiot coach is gonna do the Dabo vote this year?”

I can see someone voting Warren or LE at 10

Can’t see FU getting inside 10. And yes the 5-7 will ultimately boil down to where they like their match ups

... wish the voting was made public ... this is why I liked the Jackson in-person voting - coaches were made accountable for their voting ... if I'm Warren or LE AND this happens (as you say some coach WILL do this) - I WANT TO KNOW who it was, as I would have a long memory ... just saying LOL

No one will do that to those two teams. Everyone else might be at risk though. Highest and lowest votes should be eliminated but coaches could still work around it some if they wanted.

If it’s ridiculous I say go to harbin points like football or draw it like every other district in Ohio and let coaches place themselves. But I’ll give the coaches the fair shake and let them put a team a spot or two lower than they probably should be and have a few coaches align with them...now if a coach votes Jackson at the 12 or McClain at the 14....or even the other way and vote themselves or other way better then we need to keep changing the system.

Some of us have ways of finding out and the crazy ones (me) might share if it’s crazy

[Ironman92]

In my opinion (that no one cares about I know)....any coach that doesn’t do any one of the following is playing the system a bit:

Vote Warren/LE in the 1-2 spots

Vote Hillsboro in the 3-5 spots

Vote Waverly in the 3-5 spots

Vote Sheridan in the 3-7 spots

Vote Jackson in the 4-7 spots

Vote Unioto in the 4-7 spots

Vote McClain in the 8-9 spots

Vote New Lex in the 8-10 spots

Vote Fairfield Union in the 8-12 spots

Vote Athens in the 8-12 spots

Vote VC in the 8-12 spots

Vote Marietta in the 11-14 spots

Vote Gallia in the 13-14 spots

Vote Miami Trace in the 14-15 spots

Vote WCH/Cville in the 16-17 spots

Tuesday games could change my thoughts slightly
