For statements with most, being that the opposite is 50% or less, does "some" qualify as the logical opposite. Or no because some does not qualify as 50%? Thanks guys!

"Some" means at least one, possibly all. This includes anything that isn't none.
By saying the logical opposite of "most" is "some", you are including "most" as a possibility again because "some" can include "most". That's a mouthful, so here's something easier you can use.
The easiest way to negate "most" is to use "not most".
