1. Bluecoats 1-2

2. SCV 1-2

So sticking with my original top 6 for 2018 that I predicted shortly after finals in 2017

1. SCV- the motivation is their way and it fits the algorithm for BD championships since 2007. It's looking better and better for them as the season progresses too.

2. The algorithm, man. Since 2007 BD has placed 1 2 1 1 2 1 2 1 1 2 1. The next in the sequence is 2 and each 2 has represented a different corps at 1. I will throw in there that the Cavaliers and Boston also fit into this algorithm at 1...and the Cadets went from 5th in 2010  to taking it all in 2011...so coming up from 4 or 6 to 1 isn't out of the  picture. Thi is all using the assumption that BD is still the premier corps...and well that has been the case for most years dating back to 1976. Not predicting them at 1 or 2 is crazy but I don't think it's impossible for them to fall a little with such a strong top 6.

3. Bluecoats. I think they are one of the most popular corps right now doing great shows and will surge from a 5th place finish last year.

4. Boston. Creeping up the ranks but not quite medal time...very dangerous though.

5. Cavaliers- I wouldn't be surprised if they move up to grab a medal or even win...but keeping them at 5 for now.

6. Crown- I put them at 6 after 2017 because while well performed the 2017 was far from popular. I thought, at the time of my original prediction, that they would have a difficult time rallying from that.

I do still think it's a 6 horse race for medals but I think crown has the lowest chance of grabbing one in the top 6. So far it's my personal favorite show this year too.

Haha we won't talk about how I had 7-12 play out.
