Given your methodology, Somerset would have to be heavily favored to win 1A this year because they are going to be 3A next year. Mercer is plain and simply the best out there in 2A. There are good teams that can beat them on a bad day, but they are the team to beat. They are a 2A team playing in 2A according to the class alignments this year, so I do not take anything away from their accomplishments, they have earned the right to be called the team to beat IMO. It just so happens that they have knocked the so called "power" in 2A down a notch and there is alot of jealousy IMO.

No Jealousy here when Mercer proves they can beat all the remaining teams and claim the title they will get all of the credit they deserve from me.But until Mercer wins the state title they have proved nothing to me.
