Often imitated, never duplicated. Franny by 2 scores at the very least and hopefully Naz can make it through the most physical opponent they will have ever seen in school history so we can have a rematch of week 9. Though I feel Franny has to be favored BIG in the rematch given the way they converted 4th downs and fake punts in week 9. Naz is going to be lucky just to be on the same field should they get their shot.

Feeto's Friday Upset Special.....

Playing with house money: If there is a true upset it will be Chatham defeating a powerful EStL Flyer team. Will it happen? Needle in the haystack of a possibility but...
~ EStL has to play on the road and on grass!
~There will be zero home cooking by the officials
~Common opponent scoring is close and comparable.

The above means absolutely nothing unless Chatham plays error free ball without pissing themselves like in 2019... getting down 28-0 by halftime in EStL. Looking at this game there are ways to beat EStL just as there were ways of defeating Iron Mike Tyson when he was 20 it just never happened. But, IF... the Titans pull off the upset it would have to go down as one of the greatest upsets giving the snowball chance in Hades they have been given.

I hope whoever wins has zero injuries going forward!

I'm interested in all these games. In some, the interest rises to the level of excitement. Will watch, or at least keep an eye on, as many as I can.

MS v. LA
SR v. Quincy
Batavia v. DGN
MC v. Normal
LF v. Geneva
JCA v Peoria
Naz v. Rochelle
SL v. DP
Montini v. Princeton

But why must NFHS get involved with an MC home game? The game will be announced by the Caravan but broadcast by NFHS, the scourge of the playoffs for years. With them, there is a 50% chance of a catastrophic failure and a 100% chance of a production that's inferior to YouTube.

That’s an IHSA decision. 😔

Fair assessment, but how many conferences outside of the the CCL/ESCC have 3 quarterfinalists in one class outside of the I8? Naz will beat Rochelle but Rochelle will be the most physical team they've faced. Morris is down but made the quarters.

At worst the I8 has 3 quarterfinalists in 5A, at best it's an all I8 final.

You can question Sycamore's schedule but they only have 4 fewer "playoff points" than StF. So their schedule strength isn't that far off.

The playoff points is interesting but Loyola/Naz/Rita….and what Syc has Rochelle and a good but not great Morris squad? I’m taking your opinion on Morris, haven’t seen them.

Feeto's Friday Upset Special.....

Good morning, I'm working from my car this morning, so this will be a quick one. This week's upset is....... Batavia over Downers Grove North. I've seen the Bulldogs play many playoff games, and one thing I've learned is to never count them out. I like Batavia, final score.... Batavia 28 - DGN 21. That's this week's upset. What are your thoughts and who is your upset?

I had talked myself into Sycamore being the favorite on that side of the bracket a week or two ago. Then in looking at results today, I am less than impressed. They had narrow one score wins over a 1-8 Dekalb, over a 4-5 Oswego East, and over a Mahomet team that eventually lost to SHG who got absolutely clobbered by JC last week.

Looking at their results, they seem to have improved as the year has gone on some, but their schedule still seems light. A nice win against Rochelle and then clobbering an injured Morris team are decent wins, but there isn't much there to make me think they can run the gauntlet of three tough games in 5A now.

I know comparing scores, especially from early in the season, is a pointless exercise. But I think I have talked myself from them being one of the biggest title favorites into now thinking they may be able to pull out an upset this week, but if they do, that may be as far as I see them getting.
