I think a lot of the top teams do in-fact play each other. Often times they are in conferences with each other AND seek each other out in non-conference games. For example Glenbard W and Maine S play each other. Maine S and Mt. Carmel play. ESL and Batavia play. Etc.That will be hard to pick. The reason is top teams do not play each other. We can sit here and say who we think is the top but none of that matters unless they play. Then and only then would there be a legitimate claim.
I think the list is incomplete, and clearly NV is 2nd at best, but if you are a fan of one of these teams, you don't want to see any of the other six teams until late November...the later the better. At the same time, these teams shouldn't be afraid of each other. They all have their strengths and weaknesses.
The only thing I'm sure of is that Alabama could beat all of them...lol.
Talk to me in 11 weeks.
Agree with you Newt.
I might remove NV and add HF. But I've been reading the EST vs NV thread and am apprehensive to say much more out of fear of driving your thread into a ditch, too.I think a lot of the top teams do in-fact play each other.

Who am I missing? Also, is it clear that NV is 2nd at best? Can a lesser team never spring an upset? If two equal teams play does it mean they will tie? When a team loses on not getting a 2pt conversion at the end of the game against arguably the best team I leave them in the conversation for the best team, but I am not always right.
I will.
Why is it so important to be the best team in the state or best player in the state? Neither can be proven.

It's just one of the things that gets discussed in sport. Did you vote?
Poll closes on Thursday. I'm sure there will be another at some point in the year. We have a Civic dutyNot yet, I need at least three more weeks.
After playing MC and GW I don’t think they are #1. Both will be tough to beat in the playoffs though. GW offense is loaded with backs but I worry if they have to pass. Their defense should live up to the Hitter standard.

Remember this criteria come playoff time. The best win being a 2pt conversion goalline stand against NV likely will come back to bite lolI voted for East Side.
Who after three weeks has better wins across the board?
Everyone forgets "off the bus" factor - but OK. Who has the better resume so far?Remember this criteria come playoff time. The best win being a 2pt conversion goalline stand against NV likely will come back to bite lol

I would say it's arguable. I think NC beats Batavia. NV was a TD better than Stevie. I'll give you Trinity over Bradley. LWE has been decisive in each win though. But I'll even grant you ESL's stronger schedule through 3 weeks. What I'm saying is remember the resume argument in week 14.Everyone forgets "off the bus" factor - but OK.

That conversion would have tied the game up, not win it.

Yes, I was there. And was thoroughly entertained even though I'm a defense guy. But the closeness of the game puts us in a precarious situation given all the hyperbole surrounding the Flyers this early season. Either NV is also other worldly or ESL isn't (or some combination of the two). No one was calling NV a top team in the state with a 7 point win over Stevie nor the 17 point win over GBN.
I just keep it consistent.
What is LWE record traveling down to the Metro East? I witnessed the Ofallon game but I can’t remember the Eville game.
Not sure that its valid to compare different years.
LWE beat Edwardsville in 2010 and 2018, Belleville West in 2016 , lost at Edwardsville in 2013 and to o'Fallon in 2009..
I’ll buy $100 worth of snoots to bring to the tailgate party for that!ESL vs LWE week 2 in the city of champions classic. You talk to your people I call my people (ESL) we make it happen. LBVS

I'm sure there are teams that will be in the discussion come November that aren't even on the list currently.
