Looks like the IHSA did a deep fake, making us think GBW was gonna be 8A. For shame IHSA, for shame.
IHSA is point in time.
You would think IHSA could get it right after all the games were played but they are the IHSA after all.

Been saying it all year. Don't trust the playoff outlook. Go Soucie or go home.
The IHSA Outlook and what Soucie does are two different things. GBW was 8A until Loyola/Edwardsville qualified. IHSA doesn't predict if Loyola/Edwardsville would get in, Soucie does.

The Loyola vs Mt Carmel in the first round really pissed me off.

Was it a fix to get one of these teams eliminated early?

No team should have to play another team two weeks in a row.

I know Loyola's record but do you honestly think they are the 32nd best team in class 8a?
Pretty close. They only outplayed Iggy, DePaul and St Francis this year. They were a miracle end in game 1 away from 3-5. They are getting way too much attention after a very mediocre season.

I guess we will find out after week 10. Just keep feeding the ball to Maldonado. Only a soph but he looks great.

In fairness, they're the 3x defending 8A champions. I understand/appreciate what you're saying, but they should rightly get attention until they prove they shouldn't.

It’s not a fix…🤦‍♂️

I mean, at least for me, the "is this fan a bum" reality barometer nowadays is "what's your thoughts on the Chiefs?" If they answer with some parroted drabble about the refs and the NFL fixing games for them, you've got a bum amongst you. We could add this to the pile...

To be fair I 99% agree with you. The 1% is the conspiracy to get the Southwest Prairie out. Thats why they put PE against ESL. ESL was gonna be a #1 seed until they saw they had to get the Bengals out. Then they forced the rematch between OE and Brook.

Most people didn't think LA would even get it so... LA is seeded with the numbers. Embrace the suck!!!
