The final football rankings are in!

Chicago Tribune (with their pre-season ranking in parentheses):

1. Wheaton Warrenville South 14-0 (1)
2. Maine South 12-2 (2)
3. Lake Zurich 12-2 (8)
4. Simeon 11-1 (18)

Simeon ranked higher than Mount Carmel? Why, because they beat the Caravan on the field in Week 1? Schaumburg also beat Maine South in Week 1. Should they be ranked No. 2?

5. Mount Carmel 11-3 (11)
6. Loyola 11-2 (On the verge)
7. St. Rita 11-2 (3)
8. Stevenson 11-1 (NR)
9. Homewood-Flossmoor 10-3 (NR)
10. Glenbard West 10-2 (4)
11. Montini 12-2 (19)
12. Carmel 10-2 (OTV).
13. Prairie Ridge 11-2 (NR)
14. Schaumburg 8-3 (NR)
15. Marmion 12-2 (NR)

Where's undefeated Rockford Boylan (14-0), the team that crushed Marmion, 48-19, in the 6A finals?

16. Joliet Catholic 10-2 (5)
17. Crystal Lake South 11-1 (17)
18. Prospect 8-3 (NR)
19. Naperville North 8-4 (10)
20. Kaneland 11-1 (NR)

Chicago Sun-Times:

1. Wheaton Warrenville South 14-0 (1)
2. Maine South 12-2 (2)
3. Lake Zurich 12-2 (7)
4. Mount Carmel 11-3 (8)
5. Loyola 11-2 (NR)
6. St. Rita 11-2 (3)
7. Simeon 11-1 (20)
8. Homewood-Flossmoor 10-3 (NR)
9. Stevenson 11-1 (NR)
10. Montini 12-2 (16)

Montini ranked higher than Glenbard West, above? I saw both teams play this year, and I don't think the 5A Broncos could beat the 7A Hilltoppers.

11. Prairie Ridge 11-2 (NR)
12. Glenbard West 10-2 (4)
13. Marmion 12-2 (NR)

Again, where is Rockford Boylan?

14. Joliet Catholic 10-2 (6)
15. Minooka 10-2 (NR)
16. Carmel 10-2 (14)
17. Schaumburg 8-3 (NR)
18. Prospect 8-3 (NR)
19. Kaneland 12-1 (NR)
20. Lyons 10-2 (NR)
21. Crystal Lake South 11-1 (17)
22. Naperville North 8-4 (9)
23. Cary-Grove 8-4 (23)
24. Lemont 11-1 (NR)
25. Lincoln-Way East 9-2 (10)
