I would say right now you'd have to go with the South, but the clearest thing to me is that, in the long run, there won't be a "Red" Division
in this league b/c it's arranged by geography.

I voted for the South as well ... somewhat a tough call, but top to bottom gotta be the South going in...
As much as I enjoy seeing the "RED" divisions compete, the KLAA has a nice setup the saves some travel time and will put all the top KLAA teams in the playoffs on a yearly basis. I'm sure the teams are happy with this setup for that reason.

if the WLAA had remained all the teams slated for the KLAA South very well could be playoff qualifiers next year

Here is a good way to rate the divisions in my opinion.
Average playoff wins per team since we went to the current playoff system Without Howell-Parker Counted for the KLAA West KLAA South = 4.17 KLAA Central = 3.33 KLAA West = 2.2 KLAA North = 2.17 With Howell-Parker Counted for the KLAA West KLAA South = 4.17 KLAA Central = 3.33 KLAA North = 2.17 KLAA West = 1.83 |

Is that including SLE for the Central, you can't count them.
I also like how the joke that is the North Division is getting exposed, the 6th place team in the south might very well be in the top 3 in that division. |

If Michigan-Football is correct, SLE is playing Varsity ball in 2008 ... so I think you have to count them. I'm not sure if the North is as bad as you make it out to be ... but at this time appears to be the clear #4 division in the KLAA.

Despite Novi and Stevenson ... I have a hard time seeing the Central as the top division. .... the Central probably has the weakest bottom 3 in the KLAA. (SLE,
Salem and Northville)

Well, I'm giving Mott a little credit since they have made the playoffs the past 2 years out of the OAA D3.... It's to be seen how that translates to the KLAA .. .I'm sure the KLAA will be a MUCH TOUGHER task. Past 2 seasonsCentral Teams Salem: 1-17 Nville: 3-15 SLE: 0-0 Doesn't get much worse than that! (and it's not like the WLAA has been very strong the past few years) North: Mott: 13-7 Kettering: 4-14 WLN: 3-15 It's tough to compare teams coming from different leagues .. but for now I'll give the North teams at least some credit ...

That "1" in Salem's 1-17 came against none other than...WLN, of course. One of Northville's three wins the last two years came against...WLN.
Of course, one of Northern's three wins came against Salem, but they also beat Glenn a couple years ago. (Don't know if that speaks more about WLN or
Glenn.) Kettering and Mott being in the OAA Pink the last few years has bolstered their record. Saw the "Captains" on film last year and one word
came to mind: yikes. They've also been beaten by a so-so Flushing program by a combined score of 98-0 the last two years.

I have to agree here, I think top to bottom Central is tougher than the North, you have to think Northville would easily have done what Mott did, and that
Salem probably would've been close to that don't you?????
If you take those bottom six teams I tempted to list them this way. 1. Northville 2. Salem 3. Mott 4. WLN 5. Kettering ****SLE**** |

I think the parity is very good in all divisions. It may take a few years to determine what the top division is, but I have a feeling there won't be one
consistently. A lot of the mediocre teams will get a boost from the studs that come through every so often.
South: You can count on Canton and Glenn to be playoff contenders every year. Wayne and Franklin have been so-so, Plymouth has been ok for a young school and Churchill has been bad, aside from 04 and 07. Central: I think Novi, Stevenson, and South Lyon will continue to be playoff contenders. South Lyon did split, but SL is growing and both schools will be fine. Northville is mediocre, Salem is a little less than that, and East is new, but will grow to the level of SL. North: Hmmm. Western is obviously a contender. Lakeland has been bad but is getting better. They will also find this division much easier than the KVC. Central and Mott are mediocre, Kettering is not good, and Northern will rise to Central's level in a few years. West: Brighton will be a contender every year, Howell seems to be in playoff contention most years, Milford and Hartland will be mediocre, Pinckney is less than mediocre, and Parker will be ok after a few bad years. Rankings right now? South, Central, West North. For the future? Central, West, South, North |
