Less State Championship "Locks" this year?

[irishfb88]

After looking at the bracket, there seems to be less sure things to win state this year than most....

 

For 2017, I'd only count 3 locks with Lee, Lee, and Parris

 

But in years past I feel like we've had more....

 

2016 (9)- Cummings, Hudkins, Red/Lee, Braydon Lee, Joe Lee, Hughes, Rypel, Parris, and Streck

 

2015 (8)- Pepple, Red, Nick Lee, Forte, Hughes, Rypel, Woods, and Streck

 

2014 (5)- Red, Micic, Kelley, Robinson, and Bernard

 

2013 (5)- Micic, Lecount, Forte, Sliga, and Robinson

 

2012 (7)- Brooks, Ayersman, Jackson, Tsirtsis, Harvey, Lynde, and Sliga

 

I know a few of these guys were not necessarily "locks" at the time, just guys who were favored to win at the time but they were at least favored undefeated upperclassman

 

This year you have the 3 "locks" and only 4 other guys who are ranked first and undefeated (Curtis, Garcia, Reitz and McWilliams)

 

So to me it feels like this year there are less "locks" than usual, what do you guys think??
