ESL can name the score. NN is solid but have only beat one team with a winning record.

This is kind of a strange matchup. Week 9, non-comferece, no geographic similarity. Did one of them have another opponent that backed-out?

There's a decent amount of these games. Morris traveling to Cahokia, Sycamore plays Althoff, Bloomington at Mahomet-Seymour, and other random games that don't have as much travel.

I think because IHSA has expanded the playoffs with more teams added, it makes some teams schedule some tougher competition because most cases they’ll still be in the playoffs as long they have 3 wins or even 2 wins if there isn’t enough 3-6 teams in the class

ESL v Alton clips ... it was truly remarkable at how efficient they were putting up points. I heard the same about last week at West ... three plays max to score. And #72 is at least 6/8 - he towers over his teammates on the line who are exceptionally large humans.

Those DVC teams scheduled some tough opponents too. Neuqua played, Oswego, Normal and Hersey. Combined, I think they are 23-1.
Well that's Neuqua's fault. Nobody told them to schedule either of those teams. But again, the DVC always does whatever Naperville North and Neuqua want. So the result is the rest of the conference being forced to do whatever those NN and NV want.

NV could've avoided playing all of those schools. But nope, they needed to follow NN's lead.

Just so I understand, the DVC forced NV to schedule Oswego, Normal, Hersey?
But as a whole the DVC does what NV and NN want but in this instance what NV wanted didn't matter? And Naperville Central has no say? I find that hard to believe knowing NC.

Have no clue how you found my post to mean I faulted Neuqua, in any way, for their scheduling.
