I know Grenada just beat Madison Central, but I could see them going back and forth this year (with Madison Central winning here and then Grenada beating them again at Brandon later this season.. who knows). Captions are also a toss-up between the top 2 (but I wouldn't be too surprised if NE Jones won show design tbh).
Before the Jasper Foothills Competition I would've predicted Reveille to sweep, however, with Visions sweeping over Reveille it's a toss up. It will likely come down to one of those two groups taking home the Grand Champion trophy in the end. With Encores, it's difficult to say because they had great competition in Opelika. I think they have potential, but it's unclear whether they will finish higher or lower against groups from Mississippi. Sound Surge came to NEJ looking for redemption, and after receiving 3RU, I feel they're back on track compared to where they were previously placed at JASI. Although I can see many groups placing in 4RU, I believe a team from the Women's Division, Gold Horizons, or Company has the best chance of winning based on scoring at past competitions.

4th, 5th, and 6th spots are a toss-up for me. Biloxi has been doing very solid, but faces a lot of competition here. Wouldn’t be surprised, however, if they found their way in a top five spot.
