A team to keep an eye on for sure. Those are big points to put up even if their opponents records are less than impressive.

Very impressive but have played absolutely no one.

Very impressive but have played absolutely no one.

True but there's still more winnable games left in that schedule.

Was looking at this the other day as well. Dragan definitely knows how to out up points, but still holding up until after the Glenbard East game to crown them

 

[BretEpic]

that offense is legit. which of those opponents can stop the pass? if none, then undefeated, else one loss.

Opponents are 0-16
Remaining Schedule 16-4

I think the key to determine Conference strength and individual teams strength from a Conference (especially a closed Conference) is “how do you do in the playoffs?” I think the jury will be out on a lot of conferences out there in Chicagoland until week 10 and 11.

Historical Legit question - when was the last time a team from the Upstate (the currently configured 10 team Upstate Conference - removing the St Charles, Geneva, Batavia group in the Old River division and removing Neuqua, Waubonsie and Metea from the old Valley Division) made it to round 2?

Current Upstate teams.
*Glenbard East
* South Elgin
* West Aurora
* Bartlett
* Larkin
* Glenbard South
* East Aurora
* Elgin
* Streamwood
* West Chicago

West Aurora was close two years ago and arguably should have beaten Maine South (eventual 8A champs) in round one but fell a little short in a shootout. Last year they lost to Naperville central 35-14 in round one

South Elgin lost 24-3 to Palatine last year in round one and then Palatine lost to Eville in round 2. Two years ago South Elgin did not make the playoffs - the only team from the valley division that made it was West Aurora.

If and when I get some more time - I will look up all the current 10 teams and go back 5 years to see if I can find a round 2 qualifier - but if anyone knows off hand that would be great! (Glenbrook South? Did they make it in 6A before joining the Upstate? They are next on my list to look up as I think they did make waves in 6A a few years back).

The Answer is 2008 Bartlett team that beat Notre Dame and Schaumburg , then lost to Main South
Last U8 PLayoff win was in 2015, S Elgin beat Evanston, then lost to Chrystal Lake South

EDIT This is only regarding current U8 Members

Thanks! Ok South Elgin in 2015 made it to round 2!! Which is only 3 years ago!

Bartlet was the last quarterfinal participant way back in 2008 (10 years ago?). Was that the really good Bartlett freshman class in their senior year? (The one everyone brings up from time to time on the forum?).

 

[Q5clan]

Best current U8 finish looks to be Glenbard East 1999 Semi Final Run (Also their last playoff appearance)
They beat New Trier, Fremd and DGN, then lost to Nap.Central in the semi

The one and only.

Was impressed with south elgin 3 years back in a playoff game against Rice.

When your opponents are 0-16... Basically like bragging about crushing your JV team. Impressive scores but time will tell!
