Bloo Is Crown placement above BAC based on an assumption that BAC has already reached their pinnacle of cleanliness and add-ons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just a feeling. Crown has really cleaned up their changes within the past week. You can see the beautiful pageantry of the show. To BAC’s credit, they’ve cleaned as well but seems to have done so earlier than Crown. I’m not saying BAC is maxed out, but my sense is there’s a few more drops in Crown’s tank compared to the rest of their competitors.

Carolina Crown 3. Bluecoats 4. Boston Crusaders 5. Phantom Regiment 6. Cadets 7. Cavaliers 8. Blue Stars 9. Troopers 10. Mandarins 11. Colts 12. Blue Knights 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRapp Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) 1. BD 2. Boston 3. Bloo 4. Crown Would not be surprised to see a tie for second or third. Edited August 6, 2023 by MikeRapp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadets 6. Mandarins 7. Phantom Regiment 8. Cavaliers 9. Troopers/Colts 10. Troopers/Colts 11. Blue Stars 12. Crossmen This is pretty much the correct answer. I might swap BK in for Crossmen at #12 and Crown over BAC at #2, but it's solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many changes of positions all season except BD, then their world really tightened up this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have seen GE captions flip 1.5 and more overnight amongst those 3 now 4. Good luck to all and it would be glorious to have a 12th place tie as that would be how this year has gone and would only make finals night that much better!

One can legitimately argue for any of the four. My humble observations going into finals? At this point, Crown and Coats have more upside and cleaning to achieve heading into Indy. More ceiling. I see it shaking out this way for the top four on Saturday. Crown, Coats, BD and BAC All the four are fabulous in their own right. Collectively, again in my humble opinion the best top four during the same season in our activities history Best Top 12? Yes! Best season ever? Maybe? To take a trip down a 35 year memory lane is a tall order. It is for me anyway Edited August 6, 2023 by Crown 1990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
