Week one will have deep implications for March. All contests matter. Provided that all the marquee teams make the state in March holding a win in November over a potential seeded team will have to be seriously considered. Head to head matters. Things have been drastically altered in some classes already thanks to the first week. For smaller classes, losing to a AAAA power is not fatal.
