    A Unique Proposal To End The Publics vs. Privates Debate...Who Says No And Why?

    There are two issue in this debate: 1) public vs. private roster setting and competitive advantages/disadvantages 2) playoff qualification. 1) This is a long discussion. Let me break it down as I see it as a coach: Issue one: boundaried vs. non-boundaried schools. We once lived in a public...

    CS8 Predictions-Week 9

    Woodstock Marian should be in the playoffs...They could handle a quarter of the existing playoff field without trying. Trust me, I know. As long as you have the CCL, you need the 5-4s in there. Case in point, Providence 2022. Trust me, I know.

    What did we learn week 9!?!?!

    I think you are all on to something I've been thinking about for a while. The way I see it, a lot of this has to do with youth football development in the west burbs and the I-88 corridor. Jobs, families, and middle to upper middle higher density communities coupled with good youth football...

    IHSA Playoff Outlook

    Good gracious, did he do something to you in a previous life? Regardless of the lack of intellectual capacity and complete lack of leadership of the HC at WA (he's probably a complete turd), WA does have the 2014 Arena Football Coach of the Year as their OC (Steve Thonn, Cleveland Gladiators)...

    (Somewhat) annual first round playoff blowout rant

    Just for fun I did a quick pass over the 8A to 6A teams in the top 64 as ranked by MaxPreps and came up with the following bracket. Forgive me if I left someone out. Teams like JCA would have to decide if they want to play into the larger bracket. I left them out. What fun. 2021 Hypothetical...

    (Somewhat) annual first round playoff blowout rant

    The operative word in the above logic is "usually". The best team in the state this year just might be JCA in 4A. This is the product of having no multiplier in place. Enrollments have something to do with 8A-7A being generally better than 4A-5A, but not usually. I believe the the better...

    Genoa 27 SF 3

    It’s been rightly argued above that lower enrollments is not the main reason for the schools who dropped in class. It’s the loss of the multiplier that’s the issue. Thank you all for clarifying this. The COVID season being used as an evaluative season for the application of the rule is...

    Genoa 27 SF 3

    We’ll, that’s a little unfair. The metro is clearly not the CCL, but 2 of it teams are in the quarters and both have a shot at a title in 3A and 2A. There are plenty of worse conferences. The problem with the smaller Catholic schools in the metro suburban is their enrollments are down 30%...
