So Who's #1? And why?
- Thread starter EdgyTim
- Start date
Eliminate losses please....its 1) Loyola 2) Naz 3)LWE 4)RICE 5) Cary
Can't argue with LA dominance in the big class these last few weeks.

Can’t we just play one more week and have Naz play Loyola at a neutral site? Lol
How about 2 more weeks!
All class Semi finals
IC vs Loyola
CG vs Naz
All class Finals
Winner of IC/LA versus winner of CG/NAZ.
If there’s no money or national championship at stake, what does it matter? 6A champs!
Would love to see it! But then again, what the hell would we have to argue about if we actually knew who was #1. Lol
You can't just eliminate the losses. They are part of the season. If you want to eliminate the loses, I'll say JCA is #1. They just beat the team who beat the team you claim is #1
If some are going to LWE is still in the top, I'm surprised Montini isn't being mentioned. Up 21-7 before the QB goes down. Sounds to me that a HEALTHY Montini team can beat any of these teams.. Down 21-0 at half to the 8a champs and won 28-21....

The Loyola that played Montini week 6 isn’t the same Loyola that won 8A. Also got handled by rice. Nothing against Montini, great program, lots of talent, just don’t see them in this conversation.
I don't either but if your we are going to give votes to a team that didn't make the finals, then we need to consider a team that beat the 8A champs.. Just saying.....
Who lost three games. Most of the schools that played yesterday were well coached, hard nosed disciplined kids with great tradition. That's why they were playing week 14
1-Loyola
2- Brother Rice
3 - LWE
4 - Naz
5 - CG
No way to put anyone from 7A (Naz) above any 8A team after seeing what Marist did to them. They are good, but not better than those top teams.

IC beat JCA
JCA beat Montini
Montini beat LA
then IC should be ranked over LA

Every team has one bad game. LA had 3 of them.
Naz is clearly #1 with great wins over Batavia and SCN.
Naz is playing up 2 classes over its original enrollment level something LA will never do.
In my opinion - LAs wins over MS, LWE, BR are far more impressive than wins over Batavia and STCN.
Also - How does playing up two classes have any bearing on an ALL Class statewide ranking?
Voodoo,
Loyola also lost by 32 points to BR with a healthy QB. They also lost to MC and Montini.
I even made a case LA should not be ranked above IC.
No team with 3 losses should be ranked #1 overall.
All I can say is I have seen both teams and would take Naz over LA in head to head competition.

That’s fair
Just didn’t think the playing up two classes should be a key component in their case for number one and the “who they beat” would favor LA in my opinion and doesn’t help Naz’s case for #1.
Based off what I saw Naz has recruited players that are better than the majority of 8A schools.
Why don’t they petition to play 8A next year?

This whole argument is goofy. It’s like determining who the tallest person is in my family. My younger son is taller than me but he shouldn’t be because he’s only 14. I’m taller than my daughter but she’s 12 and that makes sense. Does it really matter who’s number one over all classes? Thanks for mentioning CG in the top 5, I guess. I’m sure the boys who played a hell of game yesterday aren’t wondering which schools they should ranked above. Going 14-0 is an incredible accomplishment.
HS football,
LA and ND are practically the only private schools on the north side of Chicago.
They don't have to compete for kids like all the private schools in the western burbs.
LA also has around 2000 students walking down the hallways. It should be easy to find talented kids walking in your hallway to come out for football at LA.

Your obsession with Naz is flattering. Keep hating.
I got hit on the head and instead of seeing my usual maroon and gold I am seeing blue and white.
Plus one for Loyola. Winning a championship in 8a is tough enough as it is, but to have to go through Maine South, LWE and Brother Rice is too much to ask of any team...and yet they did it. Loyola is #1.
If they didn't have 3 regular season losses though they wouldnt need to play such high seeded teams.
This is true. Plus there weren’t a lot of major upsets past round one in 8A so most seeds held serve to put all those top seeds in LAs path.
I’m not arguing for or against - but if I was making a case for NAZ I would use wassups (and all of us who watched the 7A title game) eyeball test, plus their strong non con game wins and their run thru the ESCC with just one stumble/bad game while missing some starters due to injury etc.

I suppose it could/should be Naz because if the overall season they had... but if Naz was playing Loyola next week, I’d put my money on LA.
Among football playing private schools, LA routinely competes for students with NDCP, Viator, Carmel, Pat's, De Paul Prep, Guerin, Ignatius and Fenwick.

Prior to the JCA-Montini I said the above. Insert Loyola for JCA, look at who they beat to get to the championship game and you have to go with Loyola as No.1.

Still hate how home field works in IHSA and how it penalizes teams. It's the reason LWE lost.[/QUOTE]
Your team played poorly. Home field didn't make any real difference. You should be embarrassed to post something this juvenile.
