A. We don't have the same number of classes and can't have a lot (if any) of out of division games, if we do have any it'd be a 9-man vs. 11-man game.
B. They don't have to schedule teams in their section/region, teams in ND do.
C. We don't use this formula to seed the playoffs like Minnesota does. They use it to seed the section tournaments and then they have some kind of randomized section alignment for the quarter-finals. I don't know for sure, because I don't follow MN closely, but I'm assuming it's not QRF as they already have the section winners and game locations assigned for the quarter finals.
These are all reasonable issues IMO.
