Dixie will be the 2nd seed in the Upper state because of their strength of schedule. They play better opponents and more of them. I don't think the common opponent is going to play much of a factor. That's only when the 2 teams are close in comparison. Indian Land should get the 3rd seed (if they win out), Buford 4th, and SCS 5th.
As for Lower state it will be AM, Lincoln, then a toss up b/w Blackville-Hilda, B-E, and Gov. School.
I think it's pretty much clear there are overrall better teams/competition in the upper state this year as far as 1A is concerned.
