Here are the 10-30-23 region rankings with their early season schedule difficulty values after the D2 records, the cumulative records of each region, the distribution of the hard (+12), average (11-12) and easy (-11) early schedules (1st three games) for the teams of each region and the overall field. I have further distinguished between the top 7 and all 10 of each region.

Region 4 clearly had the hardest first three games of all regions with the top seven teams in regions 2 and 3 having the easiest start. There are not many teams in the top 7 of regions 1-3 that had a hard start to the season. This distribution will change as the rankings evolve towards the final selection show.
