Replay did become a little decieving to me too throughout the season. I saw alot of great guards there this weekend that made me second guess my Replay opinions, while others made me love their show even more in person.

My opinions: SA: Top 15, SO was very small in comparison to previous years and I believe that all 15 guards could handle the move. IA: Ditto SO: Northmont through South Brunswick IO: Alter Ego, Diamante, The Academy, Ventures (weren't they fourth place last year too?)

This is hard, and believe it or not I actually went through alot of Replay to figure this out. (I have a very boring job with tons of computer time) SO: 1. Northmont 2. West Orange 3. Freedom 4. West Johnston 5. South Brunswick 6. Americas 7. Oak Ridge 8. Chino 9. Mechanicsburg 10. Maconaquah 11. King Philip 12. Lake Central 13. Marian Catholic 14. Oak Grove 15. Santaluces SA: (These were all over the place and I watched like every finalist to get my opinion) 1. Flower Mound 2. Wakefield 3. LaPorte 4. Odessa 5. Pope 6. Mt. Carmel 7. Lincoln Way 8. Colonial 9. Kokomo 10. Cypress Creek 11. Kell 12. Hinsdale Central 13. Spanish River 14. University 15. Riverbank Just my opinions, tried to ignore rankings and looked more at what I saw on Replay.

It's hard to say who is going to win, or what the rankings have to say (esp. since alot of groups have yet to compete at a regional obviously). But I was wondering who you all think are the frontrunners this year, the ones to look out for, or at least the ones that will be going head to head. SA: Flower Mound Wakefield-Maroon IA: Wakefield Independent Capella Ars Nova IO: Black Gold (it is definitely their year) SW: IW: Are there really frontrunners in this class? The four in front are going to be all over those top 4 spots all season. I think Fantasia will come out victorious, and then the other three will fight for the other two medaling positions.
