Wildcats Earn Respect

When the seeding brackets came out, I thought it was difficult to see where they ranked the Wildcats in the scheme of things. I decided to take matters into my own hands and devise a system that would give me some indication of how they seeded us. I decided to use the information available on Max Preps at the time. I made the assumption that most first seeds should win their first games. That led me to check on the strength of the second and third seeded teams added together. The lower the total of the two seeds would then seem to be tougher match ups. It actually was very interesting. In the final ranking HYCA was #1, Okla Storm #2, Southwest Mo #3 and Wildcats #4. Using the data from the date I ran the checks here are the results.\:
#1 seed HYCA 20,978
#1 seed OKLA Storm 23,057
#1 seed MHEA Eagles 15,875
#1 seed WCHSA (Wi) 16,676
#1 seed N. Atlanta Flight 18,732
#1 seed Indianapolis Wildcats 19.899
#1 seed SWMO Eagles 12,428
#1 seed Nashville Warriors 11,676

Thus with real seed rankings, the Wildcats ended up with the # 3 rated most favorable schedule for the tournament while SWMO ranked ahead of us actually received the 7th most difficult schedule. That explains how HYCA open the tourney and the next highlighted teams are Okla Storm followed by the Wildcats. This demonstrates that the Wildcats have truly earned the respect of the tournament committee. Quite an honor considering it is our first visit. Let's do nothing to prove them wrong and everything to prove them right. GO WILDCATS!!!
