This will be the final edition of TOUTT until the champions are determined.

1. ESL (8-1) - Should be docked some points for doing my Huskies like that. However, overall the best combination of high end wins, no bad losses, roster talent, and pedigree. Could face a couple challenges in a top heavy 7A. Hopefully a game against Rice comes to fruition.

2. LWE (9-0) - I didn't even check to see the score of this game until literally right now as I'm typing, that's how confident I am in a LWE W, now I see that they beat LWW 37-14. Only tests were in week 1 & 2. We'll have to see how the path in 8A wind up. One thing we know is they can't see LA until the championship.

3. Rice (7-2) - workman like, the Crusaders dropped a couple close games that could have gone either way, otherwise they've been a steamroller. The state awaits the game against EESL.

4. MC (7-2) - Caravan proves itself with a dominating win over an undefeated Loyola. The 8A class waits with baited breath for the brackets to be released. Maybe an early rematch with The Griffins is in the cards?

5. Hersey (9-0) - good win over a good Prospect to win the conference and possibly a top 7A seed.

6. Bolingbrook (8-1) - got the overwhelming win over a scrappy Minooka. Raiders D continues to impress.

7. Loyola (8-1) - Ramblers drop considerably due to big loss to MC, along with week 8 performance on defense along with IC scoring 6 points against JCA. They will want to regroup in the off week.

8. Oswego (8-1) - Handled their crosstown rivals, however I am starting to be concerned about their main offensive threat who hasn't played since week 4.

9. Prospect (8-1) - competed well in loss to top 5 Hersey.

10. H-F (7-2)/ IC (8-1) - HF has been up and down this season but seems to have stabilized. IC has been stable until the last couple weeks.


See you Thanksgiving weekend with the finale

Too bad the Ramblers didn't get to play Minooka in week 9.

As much as it was painful to watch, The LA loss looks to be the best thing that could have happened to their bracket.

Why so high on Prospect? Looks like they were down 20-7 at the half, and 41-21 after the third. Doesn’t seem like they were ever in it

Yes MC is better than Minooka. Loyola also got cooked by a 3A team last week. If you dont see the trending problems with the defense I dont know what to tell you.

Believe me, I see the problems. Just question the UN in unbiased. I’d like Rambler’s chances against Bolingbrook. All good.

Also, wasnt a blowout. Given the defenciencies in everyone's schedule at some point i didnt feel compelled to drop them though I did consider it. Wouldn't argue against it either. People were predicting a 28 point loss. Looks like they hung well enough. Unfortunately Fubo deleted it and I didnt get to watch it.

To be fair, they faced some of the best wide receivers in the state the last two weeks.
I think Ive been fair. In the last 6 quarters IC has 6 points. Someone is stopping those WRs. MC is a different, theyve been contained only by ESL and Rice. Should Loyola be performing similar to ESL and Rice?

LA has 6.4 quarterback with an arm yet they caged him in. If LA offense can stay on the field longer then maybe their defense would not tired on the long passes.

Does anyone know if Shaw is accurate with their pairing predictions?

Assuming both win, LWE will MC in the second game/third round, a brutal draw. I was hoping one of Loyola or MC would knock the other out before getting LWE.

ESL dominated them in the fourth quarter. It’s fine, it happens to everyone once every two decades.
Rice did too.

I was hoping to get LWE, MC, and Loyola all on the same side. Now that the qualifiers are out Souc may do a revision. Its just math now for anyone that wants to do it.

Souc won't do a revision now, he helps the IHSA make sure everything is correct for the actual brackets.
