A. The likelihood that the championship will be won is influenced by the amount of money that team raises for the state
B. Thomas’s team have gone undefeated because they are the best team in the state
C. having gone undefeated the whole season affects the likelihood that the Rays will win the state championship
D. having gone undefeated the whole season affects the likelihood that they will go undefeated next season as well
E. Thomas will play for the Rays team at the state championship game
