    Ask Soucie: Week 9 Playoff Projections here

    NAZ will be the 3 if they come south... They currently have 35 points and at most can get 5 points this week. Unless both Crete & NWest opponents completely choke Naz would be the 3 at highest in either North or South bracket. If this actually happens could end up with Crete(2), NAZ(3)...

    IHSA Rule Question

    I would put this to the old saying of "The Ground Can't Cause a Fumble"... If the player has possession of the ball and is falling forward and uses the ball/his hand with the ball to maintain balance he is not down. Player is falling, tries the above, and fumbles as a coach I would say he's...

    Ask Soucie: Week 9 Playoff Projections here

    Completely agree. Plus you have the fact that their offensive backfield has been resembling a scene from the walking dead the way they have had guys getting injured. I'd put Richards or NWest ahead of STL. STL being ranked up there is a complete bias towards Chicago Catholic League which they...

    Ask Soucie: Week 9 Playoff Projections here

    Weak based on Crete standards... They played those big 3 in the first 3 weeks (Brother Rice is 2-6, yes in the CCB, but still 2-6) but have some mop up games against some less than stellar teams the rest of the year. Only other playoff team in their week 4-9 is RC who has a forfiet and 2 wins...

    Ask Soucie: Week 9 Playoff Projections here

    The 38th point for Crete was from RC's Week 9 forfiet not from week 1-8 so they are still tied after 8 weeks of play (technically Crete should be down 1 point due to IN school already playing 9 games)... They are only looking at points from RE/Kankake, LWE, and then hoping for RS or Bloom wins...

    Ask Soucie: Week 9 Playoff Projections here

    Souc - Do you really see 6A south 1 seed going to Crete over Normal West on points? Crete's schedule was pretty weak this year and many opponents play each other where Normal West should easilly have 5 more points if not 6 this week...

    Ask Soucie: Post all of your Week 6 Playoff Projections here

    Umm Peoria High scoring has been beaten twice this year and they don't even play the toughest team in their conference in Normal Community. 6A South comes down to the top 4 teams and I think any of those 4 can give a North Champ a run for their money... See 6A 2016 championship...

    6A not looking as strong as some predicted

    Usually a 1 seed hosts 3 of 4 rounds unless you have ESL who is the most underrated 5+ seed every year in your bracket... 1 seed will most likely be on road week 2 or 3. Last year both 6A 1 seeds would have been home 3 out of 4 weeks if Lemont would have won in the quarters

    6A not looking as strong as some predicted

    Could but based on last year 6-3 wouldn't be a 9 seed... Do you really think Providence will go 3-1 through that gaunlet? I can see Rita & Carmel but not Loyola & BR.

    6A not looking as strong as some predicted

    West beats Normal Community, they run the table to 9-0. Only other team in 6A that are south & have a chance at going undefeated are Dunlap, who still has Washington & Metamora left to play, or Danville, who still has to play West & Normal to play. Even if Dunlap wins out chances are West has...

    6A not looking as strong as some predicted

    Normal West is putting up some real good numbers too. Beat reigning 5A Champs week one while putting up 70 points against Peoria(Who most thought were a top 5 team coming into the year) then completely destroyed 8A O'Fallon 41-6. Their biggest game left is next week for 7A Normal Community...

    DARKSIDE RANKINGS: 2017, Vol. 1

    New to the thread... What exactly is the criteria here? Have to be ESL or play north of 80?

    So where should I go Week 1?

    Take a drive south of 80 and check out the Peoria vs Normal West game. Peoria is the reigning champs who returns a backfield that is as legit as it gets vs a Normal West team who played them about as close as anyone last year and is returning 14-16 starters from last seasons squad.
