    The Official Unbiased Top 10 week 5

    As much as I want LWE to be better than Loyola, I don't think I'd rank them higher, but I'd love to be wrong.

    Don't let the MC/Marist final score fool you

    Agreed on this one. LWE is tough and always well-coached, but watching that game, there is no way Rice should have lost with the talent and athletes they have. As much as I don't like Lynch as a person, the guy can coach, motivate, and recruit. I'd love to see MC lose to BR, but I think MC...

    Already looking forward to LW-East at HF next week!

    Should be good, the biggest question is the LWE offense, it has not been stellar, but I guess aside from the Jonas years, LWE has been all defense with a steady but not high scoring offense. Can't wait for this one.

    Biggest surprises & disappointments week 2

    ESL has access to funding and other resources (the full details are unknown) that no other public schools have; it is basically a private school. And that's not taking anything away from them; it's very impressive what they've built.

    The Official Unbiased Top 10 week 2

    I know everyone thinks HF is too high, but they have McAllister as coach now, and we all know what he did at Phillips.

    Already looking forward to LW-East at HF next week!

    Looking forward to this one too. After week one, I thought this was East's to lose, but they have a lot of questions on offense. HF looks really tough this year, and they have McAllister as their coach now, which tells me their start isn't a fluke. I'm hoping LWE can pull one out, but unless...

    Public vs Private debate is Settled (relief)

    The issue is far from resolved. ESL is a total outlier and is basically operating like a private institution. I love LWE, but their beating BR settles nothing; the talent levels private schools are bringing in from all over give privates a massive advantage. and no, all these kids are not...

    LWE 22 v BR 21 F

    My kid’s at East, but I thought BR was going to take this as East lost a ton from last year, what a win for the Griffins, even though they haven’t lost an opener since 2015. Too bad MC is going to steamroll everyone this year. But it’s nice to see the LWE train rolling yet again. I will say...

    Will BR Clock LWE to Open?

    Agreed. But what I think is happening, is that with the crazy NIL $ in college football, kids are looking much more seriously at private schools knowing that even if they’re not making the NFL, getting that visibility for top tier D1 schools is even more important. I know there are arguments...

    Will BR Clock LWE to Open?

    This one has always bothered me. East rolls through the preseason and conference, then hits the catholic schools in the playoffs. They hadn't faced anyone like that all year or played a four-quarter game, so they have been coming up short, or in last year's anomaly, totally blown out. The way...

    Will BR Clock LWE to Open?

    They were very concerning, and East had some deep drives but made some really questionable fourth-down calls by going for it instead of kicking field goals, which totally changed the momentum in those games. They were both East's to win, but they just gave them away. That said, even with a...

    Will BR Clock LWE to Open?

    I hope I'm wrong, but East lost a ton this past year, and the QB is unproven at the varsity level. East will be fine against other public schools, but given how the privates have been loading up over the past couple of years, I'm not optimistic about this one, even in Frankfort. No clue about...

    Massey Preseason Top 25 Illinois

    Thanks, I guess I’ll be there and see things for myself, but unless East’s QB made some big strides over the offseason, I’m not optimistic about this one for the Griffins. The kid has good size and a strong arm, but he played JV all last year aside from the last regular season game when Williams...

    Massey Preseason Top 25 Illinois

    Do you know if it's at East or BR? I haven't seen the schedules published yet. Rice is going to be very tough, and East lost a lot this past year, and the QB spot is taking a big step down. Their soph (now Jr) QB is solid, but I bet they're going back to being a run-first team, and that doesn't...
