Division One Sun Prairie Sectional Seeding Prediction

With the seeding meeting less then a week away I figured it was a good time to look at some of the sectionals that I follow closely and take a stab at what the seeding might look like. This sectional is really only half of bracket that will go to state but, technically this is the sectional with a super sectional to follow. The sectional is made up of most of the Big Eight conference and a couple teams from the Little Ten. For the most part the seeding will fall exactly how the teams finished during the regular season, the only question is will the Big Eight favor each other or give the Little Ten teams some respect. Wishoops feel that they will favor the conference peers and rank teams with worse records over the Little Ten teams while I think there will be some favoritism but, not that much.

1. Madison Memorial- Will probably win the Big Eight and have the best record.
2. Sun Prairie- Beat Memorial once this year and will have the next best record.
3. Madison East- Next best Big eight team and split with Sun Prairie this year.
4. Oconomowoc- This is wear I disagree. Wishoops has Oconomowoc as a 6 seed but, I think the fact that they took second in the Little Ten will get them a nod here.
5. Middleton- Big Eight team gets the conference vote of Watertown. .500 record in the conference and have beaten Madison East already.
6. Watertown- A winning record gives them the nod over Verona in my mind.
7. Verona- Big Eight vote may get them higher but, think the under .500 record in conference and overall will get them here.
8. Madison West- Record wise there here.
9. Madison Lafollette- Have the worst record.

I see three through seven there could be a lot of different scenarios and could finish any way. I see Memorial coming out of this sectional with Sun Prairie have a small chance and really no one else. East could beat Memorial or Sun Prairie but, I don't see them going through both. More then likely the sectional will play out with the higher seed winning throughout. My next post will be taking a look at the top half of the D2 Janesville Craig sectional which features the Badger North and top three teams from the Badger South.
