I would like for you to do the analysis you suggested of only looking at game swithin the top 10 or 15.
I looked at goals vs against with the top 7

Mauldin 20/5 = 4.0
Dutch Fork 27/7 = 3.8
W Ashley 5/5 = 1.0
Wando 31/10 = 3.1
Summerville 13/6 = 2.0
James Island 12/7 = 1.7
Spartenburg 3/4 = .75

Upstate looks pretty strong.
