The teams rated closest to HIGH ON THE HAWG, each with one reason worth a look.
25 rated teams sit within a point of this rating, so a place on this list means the numbers match — no more than that.
One contest in common so far: too few to settle anything, but a team HIGH ON THE HAWG has actually stood beside rather than a stranger on the same rating.
