    Top Conferences

    With regard to your comment and rocketnation's above, I ranked the conferences in an absolute sense rather than a relative sense. In other words, for example, would the top three or four teams in the Northern Illinois Ten Conference (NIC10) be likely to defeat the top three or four teams in the...

    Top Conferences

    Top Conferences

    Treating each Chicago Catholic League division as a separate conference, one could reasonably argue that three of the top six football conferences in the state are CCL divisions. Here are my top six conferences. 1. CCL-Blue 2. CCL-Green 3. Southwest Suburban 4. West Suburban - Silver 5. DuKane...

    Will BR Clock LWE to Open?

    "The record won't show it". I do not disagree with you that 5-4 is probably the best regular season record Marist can hope for. That is why I wrote their record won't show much, if any, improvement over last year's 4-5. Still, that would be three losses to defending state champions and a fourth...

    Will BR Clock LWE to Open?

    Yes, Morris is considered to be Chicagoland. At least for high school football purposes, any school that geographically meets both of the following criteria is considered to be in the Chicagoland area. * DeKalb and east of DeKalb * Kankakee and north of Kankakee That seems to be how EdgyTim...

    Chicago Sun Times Final State Rankings 1. Mt Carmel 2. Brother Rice 3. Montini

    This is the definition of the word "Poll" as used in the context of this thread: "A sampling or collection of opinions on a subject, taken from either a selected or a random group of persons, as for the purpose of analysis." One person's opinion is not a poll. Team A has two losses. Team B has...

    Top Ten

    Yes, I took a shot with Marist and missed badly. They were not as bad as some might think, but in that conference against that competition a team will not do well if they are just ten points worse than one thinks. I also consider it a miss that I did not have Brother Rice in my preseason top...

    My final top ten

    All things considered: 1. Mt. Carmel (14-0) [Undefeated 8A champion that also plays in the best division from the best conference in the state.] 2. Brother Rice (13-1) [Didn't look great in the cold, but 7A champ's only loss was to #1 team.] 3. Montini (14-0) [Handled every playoff game by...

    #1 in the state?

    Revised Calculations: Mt. Carmel = 8 - 0 + .4 = 8.4 points East St. Louis = 6 - 1 + 0 = 5.0 points Mt. Carmel should be considered the best team in the state.

    Class 6A fenwick 14 east st Louis 13 H

    For one thing, Fenwick made very timely uses of run blitzes in order to disrupt the East St. Louis offense. If Fenwick had just played their base defense on every play, the Flyer running attack would have devastated them and it would have been a fairly comfortable Flyers victory.
