score more.... NW does choose their games. of the 23 only 10 (or 43%) they cannot choose, 30% are Tours (Lake Murray, and Palmetto), 26% are choices.
Why play Darlington or clover, etc? the combined year to date records of the "choices" is 43-40-1 essentially 0.500. the combine records of all their opponents year to date is 140-105-4 roughly 57%, whereas SV is 157-96-5 ~62%, James Island 148-96-4 ~61%, Irmo 96-56-1 ~63%, DF 101-65 ~61%, Dorman 160-89 ~64%, Summerville 167-97-5 ~63%.
Yes some of these teams are helped by their region opponents, but you can argue they have a greater chance to lose.
yes NW is a good squad but until you win it all the question will still be there.
I think you would agree that a question mark as to the #1 status is warranted.
