Here's my top 25 predictions:

1. Solon
2. Daniel Wright
3. Beckendorff
4. Meads Mill
5. Kennedy
6. Piedmont
7. Paul J. Gelinas
8. Springhouse
9. Longfellow
10. Jeffrey Trail
11. Ladue
12. WW-P Community
13. Science and Arts Academy
14. Baker
15. Tower Heights
16. Dodgen
17. Shady Side Academy
18. Howard Goff
19. Fulton Science Academy
20. A.W. Coolidge
21. Thomas Jefferson
22. Highlands
23. Chippewa
24. Archimedean
25. Fred J. Carnage

Honorable mentions: Auburn, Cedar Springs, Evergreen, River City, Pleasant Ridge, Meyzeek, Kealing

Remember, although Piedmont placed (7?)th last year at nats, it doesn't mean they aren't just as good. They placed lower than SSA at Cornell. Also, Dodgen is dying, and Jeffery Trail isn't that good (Oak Valley placed 16th last year). Community beat Gelinas at Rustin this year, and Springhouse beat Community at Garnet.
In conclusion, move Piedmont lower than SSA, Dodgen lower, Jeffery Trail lower, Community higher but lower than Springhouse, or instead of moving them up, move Gelinas lower.

EDIT #1: NVM, you should move Community higher, and move Gelinas down. Depending on your own opinion, Community and Springhouse are very interchangable.

Science and Arts Academy should DEFINITELY be much higher, and Piedmont should be a little lower (2 or 3 places)

I'd definitely say Piedmont is being overrated, particularly on the basis of their all-around weaker than usual state scores. 13th for SAA is reasonable though - I placed them higher mainly for their strong state score, but it could go differently if they slack.

Dodgen is certainly not dying. I doubt they'll finish lower than 18th-19th.

We're not getting 11th. No way. If we make it, top 20 sounds reasonable.

Most of this seems pretty accurate, but I don't think SSA will be that low, Gelinas won't be that high based on their states performance (even though they won, they didn't get many 1st place medals), and Goff definitely will not be that high (no experience except one year in which Nats was historically easier, plus based on their states performance they just got lucky.) Also I don't think Tower Heights will be that low.

Also I don't think Tower Heights will be that low.

I think that with this list piedemont and community should switch places, community is showing that they are stronger than last year and piedemont is looking weaker this year based on invitational results. Also I think that springhouse and gelinas should switch places, they beat us at rustin and are proving to only improve since then. And I would also switch ladue and tower heights.

You forgot Piedmont, but otherwise pretty accurate. Also Science and Arts Academy should be higher.

I agree with everything except Ladue should be up there, maybe instead of A.W. Coolidge. Also Science and Arts Academy I think should be maybe 11th, move Hamilton, Baker, and SSA down 1 place.
