I feel like some team out there has the potential to knock them off.

Scary thing about Rugby is I thought this would be more of a down year for them ( I thought DLB would be the best team in the Region). They bring back their 3 best players next year.
With that being said...once regionals come around its do or die. anyone can be beaten if they are not prepared.

With Regions 3 and 8 not having any representation in the polls. At best is will have 6 teams make region out of this poll and last year we saw Milnor unranked team win the state could we have it again. Its high school basketball and we will see some of these teams fall before they reach state tournament and some will not play up to expectations even when they get to state. Its what makes it fun and unpredictability of who may win the prize.

I also agree that Milnor and Oakes are strong teams; however, I do believe that there are many teams in Region 6 that are capable of beating both of them. I would have to witness Milnor and Oakes play each of the outstanding teams in Region 6 and defeat them all before I would concede that there is no team in Region 6 who is capable of defeating both of them.
I realize that the above statement is opinion and speculation and that's great; however, I do not believe that Region 1 is the only Region with "powerhouse" teams.
There will be many very good teams in Region 6 who will not make it to the big house as only one can go to state.

I would say the same #4, they played only one other ranked team #7 St.John and they didn't play any of the teams above them of course, so if they are 18-0 in ND you still have to measure it by who they did and didn't play in the home State IMO

Its too bad that there isn't a way of making sure if you make it to the state tourney the year before, that it could be that you must schedule a certain amount of games with teams from that tourney for the next year. I do realize that schedules are usually just about done by then, but it was just a thought, and could maybe help out when the super region and state pairings takes affect. Then we would have had Rugby, FWs, playing some of the teams that are ranked now. Just a thought
