Actually looking at page 4 you see that BC did play 3 of the 4 bottom teams (based on massey coming in) and GHS was 3rd from the bottom based on that. Not to say they are the third worst team just that how the numbers lined up coming in. I would put more stock in your 1-0 loss to Roverside as a show of your team rank than a preseason tie against FMHS (2nd game of preseason mean very little).
Were the match placements cooked for BC?? Who knows, they had to be juggled several times and it seems they ended up playing the fill in teams who were added late. The host school wants to put on a good tourny so maybe they made sure the other quality team had as many good games as possible. In the end it only matters if you think it does! When the playoffs start you will get no credit for winning the Palmetto Cup. Come back in May and see how these teams fair in the playoffs and then we will know if the "easy" or "hard" schedules helped them.
