When I saw St. Albans last year they were very showy. Flashy costums, flashy choreo, but I really wasn't all that impressed with them overall, and I think they only ended up taking 3rd place over all. Thats not to say that they won't be awesome this year, but if I'm basing these preds off what I saw last year, and what little I've seen and heard this year, I would definately be placing my money on these placings. Keep in mind, even though I'm an alum of Colerain, I'm pretty hard on them, and I try to keep my predictions as realistic as possible, I don't throw Colerain at the top just because I want them to do well. If you take a look at my B-creek preds they were pretty much right on for the top 4.
Its still pretty early in the year so there's not telling how good Hurricane or Marysville is this season, but I'd watch out for my top 3 to be in a battle for the GC, they are certainly all capable of it. If Colerain works out their weak points, the show they have has the potential to be amazing.

GC: Colerain
1st RU: St. Albans/Marysville/Brush ( havent heard bout marysville this year though)
