Peel Senior Tier II Best Teams and Players?

Christmas Break is here, who are the early favourite's to take ROPSSAA?

Who are the players to watch this year?

I have seen a lot of teams from the North not many from the South.
Please comment and give your top ten

1. Bramalea
2. Brampton Centennial
3. St Thomas Aquinas
4. David Suzuki
5. Chinguacousy
6. Erindale
7. Mayfield
8. Port Credit
9. Judith Nyman
10. Louise Arbour

Bubble teams
Humberview
Applewood
Lorne Park
Glenforest
St Paul

Lorne Park beat Erindale by 17 points on Wednesday, and beat Louise Arbour at the Central Peel Griffins Classic

16 teams make Tier 2 playoffs.
Only the top team in each division is guaranteed a playoff spot (7 spots).
The remanding 9 playoff spots will be determined by a seeding committee.
A 2nd place team cannot be seeded above the 1st place team in their own division but can be seeded above a 1st place team from another division.

Based on the criteria above, this is my opinion on how Tier 2 playoffs currently looks but there are still many key league games left to be played that could completely change all of this.

I don't think Bramalea will get the #1 overall seed with 2 league losses.

Suzuki has looked strong as of late with the win over Centennial and a good showing in their own tournament, could get seeded above Bramalea, could be #1 overall.

Mayfield will be a top 3 seed after finishing 8-0 in league, could get #1 overall.

I don't think Nyman can be ranked ahead of Aquinas, pretty sure Aquinas finished ahead of them in the standings due to a tie breaker.

I don't think Nyman will get seeded above a 1st place team from another division.

Chinguacousy probably wont make playoffs after finishing 4th in their division, they should as they are better than Louise Arbour, Pocock, Applewood, and many others but I don't see them getting voted in by seeding committee, no one wants to play them in the playoffs.

Don't sleep on the South West, Lorne Park, Erindale and Clarkson are all tough teams, arguably one of the toughest divisions in tier 2. Arguments can also be made for both TL Kennedy and Gonzaga over teams like Mentor College, HB, Applewood or even Humberview.

One of Centennial, Bramalea, Lorne Park or Erindale will be moved to AAA playoffs and not be in tier 2 playoffs, could even be more than one.

Harold Brathwaite should not make the playoffs.

We will find out tomorrow

My opinion:

1.David Suzuki
2.Mayfield
3.Brampton Centennial* top pick to get moved to AAA
4.Bramalea
5.Lorne Park
6.Aquinas
7.Erindale
8.Louise Arbour
9.Port Credit
10.Phillip Pocock
11.Humberview
12.Judith Nyman
13.Clarkson
14.Gordon Graydon
15.Applewood
16.Mentor College

Bubble teams:
Chinguacousy* should get voted in
Glenforest* will probably get spot after teams are moved to AAA
Harold Brathwaite

Bear in mind that any tier 2 teams that are seeded for the 3A, 2A or 1A playoffs will not participate in the tier 2 playoffs.

Predictions???

The Sweet 16!
It will be interesting to see how the division leaders do. The divisions were unbalanced in terms of number of teams and quality. Geography obviously is the main factor in determining divisions. There is a lot of importance given to league play however that only tells part of the story. Chinguacousy could probably have won 5 out 7 divisions yet they don't even make playoffs bc they finished 4th in the competitive northeast.
For future seeding I think teams should submit their full schedule for coaches to look at, exhibitions, tournament games.
Heart Lake went 0-4 in a three team division and they were in consideration...
Should be some good games.

#3. Bramalea 76 vs. #14. Meadowvale 66
#8. Louis Arbour 40 vs. #9. Aquinas 65
