Playoffs are here!!! Lots of people confuse a lower seed beating a higher seed as an upset....... Well that's often not the case. If it were, I'd take 19 seed Mount Carmel every week from here on out. Upsets are based on team quality wins or losses. They're based on Edgy and Newspaper rankings. They're based on Gambletron spreads. So, for this week's upset I'm going with the 6-3 unranked, 23 seeded T-bolts of Andrew over the 8-1 #18 ranked and 10 seeded Vikings of Fremd. I think this one comes down to regular season games vs quality opponents, and Andrew has that advantage. Their 3 losses all came vs high quality opponents from their own conference. I like what I'm seeing from the T-bolts offense putting up close to 40 per game. I'll take Andrew tonight out in Palatine. Final score...... Andrew T-bolts 34 - Fremd Vikings 28. That's this week's upset. What are your thoughts and who is your upset?

I like Edwardsville to beat York.
Also like Naperville North.
Also like Naperville North.
Now that would be an upset! I'm gonna say LT has more first downs than West has points.
I'm gonna go with Sandburg over Stevenson.
now I gotta pick Jacksonville to beat Joliet Catholic to anger you and penlight! (I am not)
Mount Carmel (Chicago) over Harlem (Machesney Park) 
In all seriousness, lets go Sandburg over Stevenson
In all seriousness, lets go Sandburg over Stevenson
Let me try this again......... GIVE ME WARREN OVER PALATINE POUND THE ROCKKKKKKK 
I was going to actually take WA, but my Tomcat heart will not allow it.
How? I know no one mentioned it but the WSC Gold might actually be below the Upstate 28DGS is the favorite
I went with Sandburg and Edwardsville in my weekly confidence pool.
Your fact checking is outstanding and appreciated.DGS is the favorite
I feel kind of slimy doing it, But it’s up on my screen
Some precedent for this pick exists. Rewind to Round 1 two years ago when Andrew (6-3) went out to Huntley (8-1) to get the W. With the same records in play and very similar seed positions (difference of 1 for each) we will see if lightning can strike twice for the Thunderbolts.
Andrew over Fremd
Hersey over Prospect
Warren over Palatine
Hersey over Prospect
Warren over Palatine
Some tough draws for the West teams… Barrington loses to both Fremd and Palatine and gets a cakewalk first round game… Just the way it goes sometimes
