I predict a year with some reshuffles - except right at the very top

2018:

1. Blue Devils

2. Bluecoats

3. SCV

4. Cadets

5. Boston

6. Crown

7. Cavaliers

8. Regiment

9. Blue Knights

10. Blue Stars

11. Academy

12. Madison

13. Mandarins 

14. Crossmen

JMO - I also feel we will see more shuffling going forward from 10th-16th the next few seasons as more of those bubble corps produce finalist quality products

I think SCV is going to go on a win streak for 2 to 3 years.

Cavaliers make it to 2nd and BD drops to 3rd shocking everyone but it's a rebuilding year and they do something very groundbreaking.

I know you afe involved in the org, but a rebuilding year for BD seems unlikely, unless massive staff changes are coming.

I can do what I want. And yes, Bluecoats are still one of the top 4 in my book considering they beat Cavaliers head to head most of the summer. It's my opinion, not yours. Yes, they lost one contest to Cavaliers. But my big picture is that Bloo is still top 4. 

I would agree with this wholeheartedly. I was honestly shocked when the Cavaliers overtook them. While I don't think neither suffered from design issues, I think Bloo had a beast of a drill that proved impossible to clean. I do feel Cavaliers were over-scored in brass. The big four are: BD, SCV, Crown and Bloo. I don't think anyone can argue otherwise because Cavies beat them by a miniscule spread on finals night. Since 2011, Cavies haven't beaten BD, Crown, SCV or Bluecoats (except finals night). I think Cavies have put themselves in a great place heading into next season, but I think they have a bit more to prove before they are considered Big Four. 2012 - 8th place, 2013 - 7th place, 2014 - 6th place, 2015 - 9th place, 2016 - 5th place. Not convinced they are going to hold on to top 4 next year.

With the retention I'm hearing about from Cavaliers MM's and staff...I don't see them tumbling down to 7. Lots of good post-season vibe coming out of Rosemont.
