It is now time to look back and see how those pre-season rankings in August stacked up.    Looking at the pre-season Class 1A Top 25, 24 of the 25 teams made the playoffs.  The top 25 included both Champions, both RunnerUps, one semifinalist and five quarterfinalist.  

The Canadian Wildcats were the pre-season #1 team and they proved it with a Division I championship.  In Division II, the Stratford Elks won the title after being ranked #7 overall and #4 in Division II teams. 

Of the 22 teams that eventually lost in the playoffs, 16 of them were knocked out by other pre-season Top 25 teams. 

Stratford had the toughest challenge in the playoffs, beating 4 top 25 teams.  Cayuga defeated 3 pre-season top 25 teams, while Canadian beat 2 of them.  The surprise team was Albany (pre-season #37) which took out 2 Top 25 teams on their way to the Semifinals.
