The best versus the best in Class AA

I put together a simple list of 37 Class AA teams that have a .500 or better record plus five exceptions that are under .500. I then figured out the records of those 42 teams against each other.

The five exceptions are teams that are close to .500 and, I believe, should be above or close to .500 before the season ends and they are Centennial, Cretin-Derham Hall, Elk River/Zimmerman, Forest Lake, and Lakeville North.

Here are the top 17 teams with the best record against teams on the list of 42, have played five or more games against those teams, and have at least a .500 or better record against those teams on the list:

1. Wayzata 11-3-0 .786 winning percentage
2T. Benilde-St. Margaret's 7-2-0 .778
2T. Edina 7-2-0 .778
4. Eden Prairie 10-3-0 .769
5. Grand Rapids 6-2-1 .750
6. Duluth East 7-3-0 .700
7. Hill-Murray 6-3-1 .667
8T. Blaine 5-3-3 .625
8T. Maple Grove 5-3-1 .625
8T. Minnetonka 5-3-1 .625
8T. White Bear Lake 5-3-0 .625
12. Eagan 6-4-1 .600
13T. Bloomington Jefferson 4-3-2 .571
13T. Osseo 4-3-1 .571
15. Moorhead 5-4-1 .556
16T. Burnsville 3-3-2 .500
16T. Stillwater 3-3-0 .500

Out of the list of 42, 30 teams have played five or more teams on the list.

Top five teams that have played the most amount of teams on that list of 42.

1. Wayzata 14 games
2. Eden Prairie 13
3T. Elk River/Zimmerman 12
3T. Centennial 12
5T. Edina 11
5T. Blaine 11
5T. Eagan 11

In 15 total games played so far this season, Wayzata has only played one team not on the list of 42, Buffalo.

Bemidji (14-1-1) has only played four games against Class AA opponents with a .500 record or better and they are 2-1-1 against them.

Minneapolis (12-1-3 overall) has only played one team with the same criteria, Robbinsdale Cooper (8-8-0), and they lost to the Hawks 2-1 in overtime.

Here is the list of the 42 teams I used: Academy of Holy Angels, Apple Valley, Bemidji, Benilde-St. Margaret's, Blaine, Bloomington Jefferson, Brainerd/P/P, Burnsville, Cambridge-Isanti, Centennial, Champlin Park, Cloquet/E/C, Cretin-DH, Duluth East, Eagan, Eden Prairie, Edina, Elk River/Zimmerman, Farmington, Grand Rapids, Hill-Murray, Hopkins, Lakeville North, Lakeville South, Maple Grove, Minneapolis, Minnetonka, Moorhead, North St. Paul, Osseo, Robbinsdale Armstrong, Robbinsdale Cooper, Rochester Century, Rochester John Marshall, Roseau, Roseville Area, St. Cloud Tech, Stillwater Area, Tartan, Wayzata, White Bear Lake, Woodbury
