All the teams in the regional finals from regions 11 and 12 last year were not very good with the exception of Bloom-Carroll who was maybe 8th to 10th in D-III, the rest were not good compared to the rest of D-III. All the really good teams were in region 9 and to a lesser extent 10 last year, regions 11 and 12 were garbage generally speaking. This year the best team is TCC region 10, followed by Ursuline region 9, followed by Badin and Watterson from regions 12 and 11 respectively. The rest of D-III will have a negligible impact, they will just get slaughtered by TCC. The reality is what it is, TCC is the defending D-II state champion and they look really good again this year.
