St Francis @ Sycamore

For the record, Montini was multiplied into 5A back in 2019 where they lost in round two to Sycamore. They failed to make the playoffs in 2021 and 2022. They lost in last year's 3A semifinals to Byron. They beat Byron by ONE POINT in round 2 of 3A this year.

Seems to me that they are appropriately classified in 3A.

I'm glad you asked. I would separate them only until the semifinal round.

1) All CCL/ESCC teams make the playoffs regardless of record.
2) Divide the 24 teams into three groups of eight teams each. This can be done based on student enrollment or team ability.
3) Each group of eight teams plays three rounds of playoffs among themselves to produce one winner.
4) The winner of Group A advances to the semifinals of the IHSA 8A playoffs.
5) The winner of Group B advances to the semifinals of the IHSA 7A playoffs.
6) The winner of Group C advances to the semifinal round of the IHSA 6A playoffs.
7) The other 24 teams (three quadrants of eight teams) in those three class levels will be teams that are not in the CCL/ESCC.
8) Any CCL/ESCC playoff group (A, B or C) that does not win a state championship for five consecutive years will drop down one class level for the playoffs the following year.

If CCL/ESCC member schools do not like the new arrangement, then, as they like to say, they should "just get better".

14 ccl qualifiers this year, what do you tell the 10 public schools that you just kicked out of the playoffs?

Loyola (Hollywood) vs LW East (Beast)

8
I think LWE is a 3 TD favorite. Is there any narrative to support a close game? Is it that they beat the only good team they played this year, Naperville Central, by “only” 28-7? Is it that LWE was unbeatable in 2018? Is it that LWE had the best D in history of 8A last year? Is it that LA hasn’t played anywhere close to a complete game this year? I am struggling to see a close game here given LWE offense.

I saw 24-22 LWE on Massey. Is the algorithm different for everyone? Lol. One of many reasons why I wouldn't want to use one of these systems to rank, sorry I mean seed, the playoffs.

now that you mention it that's user error on my part, or omission at least. it depends if you do home/away/neutral i was just going quickly thru all the semi matchups so i just did neutral for everyone. 24-22 in favor of LWE in frankfort

8A State championship next week in Frankfort, ( again no insult to the lower bracket ) and in the end the “state championship game gets played Thanksgiving weekend!, but somehow to me it is the semi-final game that has the 2 best 8A teams in it. I feel like LWE is like Indiana - all you can do is win the games you are scheduled to play - I will believe Indiana is real when they beat Ohio State - till then -well? LWE went out and got a QB - they are not the same team as last year and they will present a different challenge for LA with the new QB , they are at home and are seeking vengeance for the last three years were they are 0-3 vs Hollywood - I would say LWE is favored …. But as Mike Tyson said one time - everyone has a plan till you get punched in the face. LWE is gonna get punched in the face for the first time this year. The question is do they have a plan ?

Admittedly not a big 8A guy, but would you take Loyola to win a game against York or NC this year?
