Instead of the usual "who is going to win it all" type of prediction, how about changing it up and predict which teams will make it to certain rounds or what rounds they might be knocked out.

I expect Emerald and Woodruff to meet for Upper and BE and AM to meet for Lower (IF the brackets fall as I expect. . .)—From there I think it depends on many factors—If you look at AA/A there seems to be some strong teams at the top and then a pretty big gap to the middle-ranked teams and below—BUT soccer is a cruel sport—Many upsets could happen—

I think Gilbert might be a surprise and make it to the second round this year.

I do not think Gilbert going to second round will be a suprise. Top Eight should be Emerald, Woodruff,CC,SSC,Gilbert,Swansea,West Oak and Chapman.
Possible 2nd round games:
Emerald vs. Chapman
Woodruff vs. Swansea
CC vs. Gilbert
SSC vs. West Oak

I don't see Swansea doing it this year, unless they pull an easy win first round. By playoffs, they will have dropped their last three games.

Christ Church just beat 4A Northwestern, who a couple of days later lost only 1-0 to 4A #1 Mauldin. What are CC's chances?

But they only nudged Pendleton which worries me a bit.

Christ Church also does not have the same coach as last year. I'm not sure how sharp they are...I'll say that they will get bumped by 4th round.

CC has had a lot of highs and lows, some games they have played horrible, some they have played great, it doesnt look like they have a median, if they have a horrible game early, they could be out in the 1st or 2nd round!!!

You need passion and a few more things to make it into the Upper State Final. I don't see CC survive the 3rd round. Emerald, Woodruff or SCS will be their final stop.
Emerald will edge Woodruff in the Semi-finals and BE could fall to AM.
