Do not understand how Nap Central is rated higher than Warren ... oh well. There is full season in the Fall. It will shake things out. Six flags will be open soon. Not too many people like to head north towards Wisconsin. You need to live South & West or south of Lake Cook Road.

I have to agree with you micahjones. They have 1 loss. Must be strength of schedule?

the loss was that forfeit to WV for using an ineligible player. That being said, I wasn't sold on NC either.

I agree with you - I don’t see how they “reloaded” at NC since losing to HC in back to back fall seasons, and their current Junior class wasn’t all that impressive. For me as a fan, Warren is a scarier matchup for Hinsdale Central than NC.

I don't think NC, Warren or HC beat Marist or Rice if a game 7 was played today. I'll hang up and listen.

I think Micahjones will have something to say about that.😊

I went to a playoff game back in 2011 between Rice and Downers South, I thought it would be the best game that weekend. Rice had those two running backs same last name I forget what the name was though. Everyone was sure how tough the Blue was and that Rice would handle a decent South team then face Mt. Carmel the next round. Downers South proceeded to beat Rice from pillar to post. That was Belskis' last win at South after a long successful career.

How can undefeated and winners of 20 straight games Defending 4A Champ RB not be ranked #1?
