[single shot]

I've never understood that logic, and I hear it all the time.
I agree that if it's really close you may give the benefit of the doubt to the defending champ. They earned the championship trophy for 2018, but 2019 is an entirely different year with different players.

That’s true for every team, so how do you rank them then? We know Boyle has D1 talent and where the heavy favorites last year but then no one knew about the D1 talent Corbin had that helped them in that match up. Like I said I’ll agree Boyle maybe the heavy favorite but I’ve heard no one say what Franklin Simpson lost or what players maybe stepping up. Until games start being played it’s all a shot in the dark from anyone’s perspective...
