Favorites (I'm guessing on some of these)
R1
NC, I think they have to be the favorite, maybe they're the best team in the state?
CC
Kindred
R2
Thompson, I think you have to keep picking them up until someone beats them.
MPCG
Cavalier
Grafton
R3
Linton
Oakes
Carrington (they're always decent)
I'm not sure Linton is the favorite, but I assume they'll be in the mix.
R4
Langdon
