It is pretty much a guarentee that TJ represents Indiana, but it's close in Division C between Munster and Carmel.
Idk for Div C I think you shouldn't count Lake Central or either of the Bloomingtons out. All five (Munster, Carmel, Lake Central, Bloomington North, Bloomington South) are very strong teams, and honestly, at this rate, the exact order that the top five comes out to at State could vary wildly between them. I wouldn't say it's a guarantee for anyone.
For Div B, it might be a bit of the dilemma with the dominant state champion problem, because since TJ has kept a pretty decent streak on state championships, it might be possible that there are some Div B teams that have given up on trying to beat them on thinking that they'll never beat them, but it is quite possible that maybe the top 5 might be a hard fight. Wilbur Wright has shown some pretty decent results recently, but I've noticed that they have tended to underperform at State recently. So no one knows.
Unrelated note, I'm kinda curious to see how whoever makes it out of Indiana decides to travel to nationals this year. I remember peoneill said Munster and Wilbur Wright shared a bus all the way from near Chicago to Orlando for 2014 Nationals and back, I wonder if whoever makes it will still take a bus to Colorado too, lol (btw - I do kinda feel sorry for peoneill on that...a very very long bus ride packed with middle and high school kids does sound pretty hard to deal with
).
