I think coming in, Wise and Union are prob the two favs, but RV winning the M7 wouldn't be a huge shocker. New coach finally gets adequate practice time to build a team, that area usually has good talent and the M7 as a whole isn't very good so Ridgeview clicking and being a factor at the end shouldn't be a surprise. RV prob gonna have to be able to stretch the field and work in space, both Union and Central should be pretty good at stopping the run game between the hashes. But if RV has some impact talent at the skill positions, they can attack both teams in space and create problems.
On the flip side, they gonna have to stop the run. Union seems still behind in their passing game from their first scrimmage, the only real success on offense was behind Lomax on the ground and everyone knows how Wise likes to attack. It's certainly possible RV clicks and ends up something like 8-2 and wins M7. Graham should be the best 2D has to offer but the second place slot seems wide open. There's like five teams that could finish second and none would surprise me.
