Again relative. If you are the 5th place team in a 7 or 8 team region, you may be better then a 2 or 3 seed in a 5 team region. And really, outside of Irmo and Northwestern, who is going to win state??? Maybe everyone should not play but those two because on paper they will be in the final. Maybe the US should have just forfeited their game to Spain in the Confed. cup??? I don't know, do you VDS???
