I saw a sign at the zoo the other day, it said "PLEASE DON'T FEED THE VIDEO"

I started thinking about my last post after I posted it. Always a good thing, and, probably, something I do too often.

Is the "Toughest Bracket" the bracket that has the "Best" #1 seed? Is it the bracket where there is the biggest likelihood of an upset of the #1 seed? OR: Is it the bracket where, if you had the #1 seed from that bracket play the #1 seed from the other three brackets, the #2 seed against the #2 seed from the other three brackets, The #3 seed against the #3 seed from the other 3 brackets and so on, which bracket would produce the most winners? Or are there other ways to determine which bracket is toughest?

Discuss.

My vote was for MHB's bracket. I look at the top 4-5 teams in that quadrant and I believe together they are stronger than the top 4-5 teams in the other regions.

After MHB's bracket, here's the next three toughest - in order:

2nd - Mount Union (this quadrant is very close to MHB's in talent, but I'm not sold on Wabash. Plus after Wabash there's a big drop off).
3rd - UWW (Kean is battle tested and I heard Salisbury has a good running game. But after that...??)
4th - St. Thomas (weakest bracket I think. UST should cruise even though Del Valley is the "No. 1")

I cast my vote for 02's order as well, with one correction.  After NCC, there is a big drop off.

In advance of tomorrow, GO HAWKS...

02,

I think this highlights one of the most fun aspects of posing questions like this on the boards. Some of the disagreements I've seen take a life of their own originate simply because the responders defined terms in the original question differently.  In this case, I think defining "toughest" is a matter of perspective.  From a UW-W perspective, I agree with those who put the bracket as third toughest.  From non-Mount/UWW schools with semi-final aspirations, the easiest may be brackets that don't include the purple powers.  From the longshots perspective, it's all good (or at least it should be!). 

I hope all teams stay healthy and all fans have a great day following round 1!

My interpretation of toughest was strength overall, which one had the most contenders to challenge for the regional championship.  I voted for Mounts bracket with NCC in it just from memory, (never a reliable source these days,) without looking back at the brackets.  After going back, I realized that I could have voted for UMHB's bracket. Hard to argue that a bracket with the Crusaders, Wesley, (well, the always seem to play everyone else tough, ) and Linfield in it isn't a very tough road and Mounts just doesn't seem to have that clear cut 3rd team that can threaten.  I agree with 02, Wabash?  Eh.........

[footballfan413]

Then again, if I were a lower seed in a bracket and looking up, where would I have the most hope of making the Semi's???  Well, it sure aint the Mount Union bracket with both the Raiders and NCC in it.

Weather has gotten better and looks like there should be no rain at all today! I'm ready for a double monkey stomp after all the close games today, Go Hawks!

LOL. Wow, we've gone from plain old monkey stomps to double monkey stomps.
