Still hate how home field works in IHSA and how it penalizes teams. It's the reason LWE lost.

Naz - I just believe that they are the most unbeatable team right now (when it counts).
Loyola a very close #2 (similar reasons)
I am not a Naz guy, but if it were possible I believe they would.Is Naz willing to go up against LA right now? I doubt it.
Absolutely they are.Is Naz willing to go up against LA right now? I doubt it.

If it's based on achievement, agree with Ramblin above. The Ramblers' path was unmatched in beating MS, LWE and BR in successive weeks.Loyola.
Why? Because last week they were your #3, and they beat your #1. The week before that, they beat your then #1. Naz was your #2 last week, and they beat your #7.
I have Simeon at #2If it's based on achievement, agree with Ramblin above. The Ramblers' path was unmatched in beating MS, LWE and BR in successive weeks.
If it's based on the "eye test", it's Naz hands-down. No one this weekend had the collection of athletes (size and speed) and playmakers that the Roadrunners possessed. Also, if it's true they were missing 5 starters against Marist, it does provide some explanation for the loss. Okay, I'm done talking up Naz. It just feels wrong.
BTW....Simeon must have been awfully good.
Why not? Because they had 3 losses. Including 1 to the 5a runner up who lost to JCA which Naz clocked. Or cause they lost to Mt C who lost to 7a runner up who Naz manhandled? Why not? There ya goLoyola.

East lost because they did not adjust well at had to what LA was doing. LA had their left tackle looping on a stunt around right end...and when not doing that, ends crashed down on the East "option" run...which never materialized/exercised that option. Where they played had little to do with the outcome (and I am an East backer).LWE

How many previously undefeated 8A number ones did Naz beat? How did Naz fare against the only 8A team it faced this year? There ya go.
That's swell.I’d love to see it. Naz allowed 10 pts to SCN yesterday. LA gave up 15 points in the last 8 weeks of the season. LA defense vs Naz offense would be great, but given LA shutting down top tier offenses the past 4 weeks, I’d give it to Loyola. They are #1 State Champs!
Naz - but Loyola is very good and there would be no sure things if these 2 played right now.I think the question you have to ask yourself if you played it out with your state winners right now, who do you think would win.

But you lost to a 5a school, a very average 6a school took you to OT, and lost to a 7a team. LA may have been lights out weeks 10-14 but no 3 loss team is the top of any poll.How many previously undefeated 8A number ones did Naz beat?
