I think the rankers are presuming that Saratoga is also gearing up for a Championship season peak. If they run the way they ran in Mid September and Bethlehem duplicates their BH Invy race then Bethlehem should win Suburbans (and likely sectionals/Class A State Meet if something doesn’t change). But Berglund hit 120s throughout the Championship season last year and Owen, Ang, Conley, and Centea all seem to be poised to run with her (and have been in dual meets). Pritchard may be out for the season and is likely post season ineligible anyway if they didn’t do a waiver so that is a loss. It could go either way so I guess we’ll see what they do at Suburbans.
You are giving the "rankers" way too much credit, if you think they're applying any more thought to this than "average speed-rating of top-5".
