Cornerflag, I just don't see Eastside being the best team in the state. Irmo has already beat them, giving 4A the edge over 3A teams. If you believe that SA and NW are better than Irmo, then they have to be better than Eastside. 3A is a step below 4A, at least the top 10 teams or so. I would take NW, SA and Irmo all over Eastside, hands down. I'm not saying Eastside doesn't have a good team, because they do. I just fail to see your justification to say that the top 3A teams are better than the top 4A teams. With Eastside having lost to the #3 4A team, I would have to give the edge to 4A without much thought.
