1. 7th
2. 9th
3. 8th
4. 2nd
5. 5th
6. 4th
7. 6th
8. 11th
9. 16th
10. 10th
11. 1st
12. 12th
13. 13th
14. 14th
15. 3rd
16. 15th

Lots of these were close calls.

The 16th or 2nd has one really strong team that has tradition and/or recent experience (Madisonville North-Hopkins, Ashland Blazer). There's also probably a sizable drop should one of those be upset.

The 11th and 6th may be a little down this year in terms of top-end teams, but their fields are so stacked that they'll still send a quality team because a team that would get there only to be utterly overmatched and the embarrass the region is unlikely to be able to string together a big upset and a couple of wins where they at least play over their heads.

Definitely room for debate and not trying to knock anyone's region, just an idea of how I tried to decide some of the close calls or tiebreakers.
