The voters seem to have the top teams in each class ranked appropriately. However, they are severely underestimating Joliet Catholic in 5A. Joliet Catholic should be ranked no worse than fourth. They would, for example, easily defeat both Glenbard South and Antioch.

St Francis is 4-2, not 6-0 according to the 5A poll.

IF JCA should be no worse than fourth, then where would you rank St Francis? The Spartans have the same W-L record as JCA, including a recent win over them.

Eddieville in 7A I think will eventually be in the 8A brackets. I wonder where they'd be rank in 8A. I think they are tied with Hersey after MC, imo.
