My only problem with using the QRF is that there are some obvious flaws in the formula. Not that it's earth shaking, but if it is to determine host seeds, it should be fairly accurate. Being a Region 4 person, I will use Benson County and North Star as an example. BC is ranked at a tie for 25th. NS is at 27. All their scores, etc. during the year are very similar. Their records the same. However, NS beat BC @ BC by 22 points. That should be enough in the formula to certainly rank NS ahead of BC. Once again, not a big thing but the formula should weigh heavier on head-to-head in close situations.

I do agree that, in the case of 2-seed that gets a bye, should be chosen from the QRF as the highest 2-seed (from each side of the state). Could also be cool if they were seeded (like Class A is this year) and the opportunity for cross-bracketing is there; throw the geography out of east vs. west out the window, Best vs. Best!
Just my take

I know if you want to be champion, you have to beat everyone regardless of round. Alot of teams travel alot anyway. A true QRF would have fixed this. 11-man A will probably have Langdon and EEK playing really early in the playoffs also.

I'm not sure what you're saying. Are you blaming the QRF for some of the early matchups you mentioned?

EEK playing Langdon in Round of 8 is on them losing; once they lost to HCV they were always going to be in Langdon's quadrant. If they were to disregard travel...this could be avoided but they would still get matched up with a quality team in the Round of 8...welcome to the postseason!
