What else should they have taken into consideration? They are bracketing teams with teams of similar strength, cap blue 2028 is where it belongs.
Just win baby. They start winning, they will be moved up in brackets throughout the course of fall and into spring. Higher bracket, obviously more coaches. Can't lose any games in the 5th bracket at President's Cup, though.
I agree with this point. One can argue with Cap Blue's placement at President's Cup--noting that Cap Blue beat 4 of the 8 teams in the 3rd bracket and tied 2 others, or that they beat 2 of the bracket #4 teams soundly--but that would be pointless. MD Crush has a stronger case anyway, as they came in ranked #15 and are also in Bracket #5. (Beating them would be an upset).
Capital Blue has a decent draw at Continental, the other fall tourney with schedules out, playing three teams ranked higher. But the PP's Al Davis quote, "Just win baby," sums it up. Coaches will be on the sidelines for both of these brackets, and winning solves everything going forward.
