No.
All I am suggesting is that, with a class of top teams instead of largest schools, Marist's road to the title game would have been different. Actually, that's not a suggestion; that's a fact. Under those circumstances, who knows if Marist would have made it to the title game? Hell, who knows if LOYOLA would have made it that far under those circumstances? Clearly, gooms felt strongly that GBW was the better of the two teams last year.
How many examples can you give like that? For every one you give, I'll give you AT LEAST 10 playoff game blowouts that are between mismatched teams. Better yet, Bones, how about if you do a little work here for once? How about if you go back to the list of the 52 first round blowouts that I posted, and you sell me on which of those games were between "evenly matched teams."
Libertyville finished last year at 13-1. Their lone loss came in the 7A title game by 6 pts to GBW. While they may have struggled (and prevailed) against Bradley in the semis, they also dispatched some pretty solid teams last year like LWE and Stevenson, If you think that Libertyville was not one of the top 32 teams in the state last year, you are not paying attention.
