Gee, Jay M. Robinson 25th? Seems a bit generous. And Orlando Science School 28th? Okay...mrburrito wrote:Okay, so this is my top 30 prediction. I didn't want to go for top 60 because the bottom half is impossible to guess. Let me know if you see any glaring mistakes.

Re: Unofficial Rankings B
Eh. I think that Beckendorff actually did pretty well, and that Riverwood improved a lot in comparison to last year. They lost by one point (63 v. 64), and likely could have done better. Aside from Water Quality (which Beckendorff is generally very strong in; they got second at nationals last year) and Disease Detectives (Disease wasn't even that bad; 7th is okay), everything was top 5. Riverwood dropped a lot of national events (which, of course, they haven't been very strong in [iirc], such as Shock Value and Experimental Design) that they will have to do at nationals. Riverwood's best finish at nationals has been 20th, whereas Beckendorff's is 5th. Of course, a team that has done well in the past does not necessarily do well now/in the future, and in the same manner, a team that has doesn't get top 10 in the past might get it in the future.Bazinga+ wrote:also, SOLON is most probobly going to win. also, magsig and springhouse probs be top ten.

However, this is not to say that Riverwood will do bad or Beckendorff will do good. Regardless of the fact that Riverwood did state events, they still showed to be very adept competitors. In my opinion, they have a good chance of breaking top 20-25. I'm not saying that Beckendorff will certainly beat Riverwood, but I'm not saying that they should be counted out.
It should also be noted that Seven Lakes got second to Clements last year at state. SLHS got 6th at nationals, whereas Clements got 30th. State performance, especially in close states like Texas where state events are commonly used, could be (and is) used as a benchmark for national performance, but in my opinion, should not necessarily be considered prophetic or a guarantee of what has yet to happen.
TL;DR: I predict Beckendorff will do just fine.
EDIT: They did.

Re: Unofficial Rankings B
I'd say Dodgen could take top ten, and Bearden should be a bit higher. Everything else is great (though I personally think Solon will win).mrburrito wrote:Okay, so this is my top 30 prediction.

Re: Unofficial Rankings B
Bearden will not crack top 20. And for the 1st time ever, the Georgia team with the most state gold medals will not be at Nationals. That should through a bit of uncertainty into the Ga team placements.Unome wrote:I'd say Dodgen could take top ten, and Bearden should be a bit higher.

Re: Unofficial Rankings B
Piedmont isn't going to do that well, I'd say about 20th. Bearden is a bit too high, and I think Orlando Science School won't come anywhere near where they are on your rankings.mrburrito wrote:Okay, so this is my top 30 prediction.

Well, I think we had some fun destroying all these predictions.Unome wrote:Well, there goes every prediction on this list...
But yeah, definitely some very surprising results. Scores were close, and it pretty much came down to how bad the worst events were.
2013 Nationals Results: Water Quality-2nd, Food Science-6th, Crime Busters-13th, Team- 7th
2014 National Results: Water Quality- 7th, Can't Judge A Powder- 6th, Crime Busters- 4th, Heredity- 5th, Team- FIRST!!!
2015 Events: Forensics, Green Generation, Fossils
