Last 5 in by my calculations + 8a Projected Bracket

My Last 5,
252. Dupo
253. West Frankfort (Frankfort)
254. Harrisburg
255. Chicago (Noble/Bulls)
256. Oswego (East)
Team 257 would be Glenbard West as far as I can tell.
I have Oswego East as the ONLY 4-5 team in. I could be way off here, but that's where I have the cutoff.


Here's my projected 8a bracket. Please let me know if I have something wrong or if I am missing something

1Frankfort (Lincoln-Way East) 9-0
32Oswego (East) 4-5
16Chicago (Taft) 7-2

29Aurora (Waubonsie Valley) 5-4
13Naperville (North) 7-2
20Park Ridge (Maine South) 6-3

6Chicago (Marist) 8-1
27Glenview (Glenbrook South) 5-4
11Barrington 7-2
22South Elgin 6-3
3Oswego (H.S.) 9-0
30Joliet (West) 5-4
14Elmhurst (York) 7-2
19Edwardsville (H.S.) 6-3

*As it stands, Glenbard East and Naperville Central are tied for all tiebreakers and 7 and 8 seed will be decided by random number generator as far as I know
**As it stands, Stevenson and Fremd are tied for all tiebreakers and 9 and 10 seed will be decided by random number generator as far as I know
Disappointing for Palatine if the “reward” for their great season is a very likely date with Loyola in the Second Round.

Yep. That's what I got. Naper North vs. Maine South in the first round.

WB6 Week 9 speedcap

And just like that, the regular season is over. Quincy, Moline, Sterling, and Geneseo have done what was needed to get to play one more week.


Quincy 42 @ Capital City (MO) 31: Quincy finally got punched in the mouth a few times, but showed they were ready by punching back. Capital City gave Quincy everything it could handle and more, but the #1 ranked team in 7A pulled it out in the end. A game Quincy needed going into the postseason where some heavyweights await.


Sterling 31 @ Moline 45: Offense was the name of the game in this one. Moline never trailed in this game, but they could never make Sterling go away. Both teams will play a week 10 game next week. Moline has been looking strong since it lost week 4 to Quincy. For Sterling, this is the best the offense has looked all season and for the team with a lot of young starters, and extra week will pay off down the road.


Geneseo 34 @ Rock Island 13: Geneseo slowly grinds down the Rocks and pulls away in the second half to get their 5th win of the season. Geneseo also forced 4 turnovers and had a goal line stand. Back to the drawing board over the off season for this Rocks football team as they end the season with only 1 win.


Galesburg 14 @ United Township 40: Galesburg would strike first after a muffed UT punt catch, but then UT would go off for the next 40 points and put this one to bed by the 4th quarter. UT will finish a frustrating 4-5 with 3 of those losses being 3 point or less losses. Galesburg will finish 1-8.


BONUS!

Monmouth-Roseville 21 @ Sterling Newman 0: Despite the closeness of the score, MR controlled this game from start to finish. MR held Newman to under 100 years of offense and allowed only 1 play of double digit yards.


Rock Falls 32 @ Winnebago 35: And the Bago is your Thunderdome winner!

I have Marist with 46, Glenbard East and Palatine with 45, and Naperville Central with 44. I do think I need to swap Palatine and Glenbard East based on 2nd tiebreaker, however, which I was not doing correctly. Let me know if you see something wrong with these....

Your numbers are correct. That's what is on the IHSA site

ICE Week 9

I still can't wrap my head around the IHSA allowing Montini to drop to 3A for whatever reason. I was not a big fan of JCA dropping down to 4A because of all the weird Covid data.

The IHSA still has a little bit of tweaking to do on their private school multipliers.
I mean their enrollment is 488 for the two year cycle. I think is what throws people off.
