My game of the week...

...features No. 3 Wheaton Warrenville South (again) at No. 17 Naperville North. Both teams are 3-1, but I'm going to go with the home team Huskies this time. (The Tigers' challenging schedule may finally be catching up with them.) My upset of the week is Lake Forest over visiting No. 11 Warren. Not to take anything away from the undefeated Blue Devils, but they have yet to be tested. The Scouts, on the other hand, are led by quarterback Tommy Rees (who committed to Notre Dame in July) and are on the verge of breaking out after beginning the season 1-3 against tough opponents.

In other games this week, No. 1 Maine South (4-0) should dominate Niles West (1-3). The same can be said for No. 2 St. Rita (4-0) at Bishop McNamara; No. 8 Providence (3-1) at St. Laurence (4-0, but against weak opponents); No. 12 Loyola (3-1) at St. Ignatius (1-3); and No. 13 Mt. Carmel (3-1) at DeLaSalle (1-3).

Brother Rice (1-3) should defeat Gordon (2-2) in what will be homecoming for the Crusaders. (I'll be in attendance and available for updates on Twitter.) Glenbrook South (3-1) should beat visiting New Trier (2-2), in the midst of a building year. The Titans could crack the Top 20 with another offensive display from Michael Hirsch and company. Finally, Fenwick (1-3) should have no trouble as it travels to Leo in a game of also-rans.
