...in Illinois high school football, according to the three main rankings. (All teams are undefeated unless otherwise noted.)
MaxPreps:
1. Bolingbrook
2. Prairie Ridge
3. Rockford Boylan
4. Loyola
5. Glenbard West
6. Montini
7. Wheaton North
8. Lincoln-Way East
9. Aurora Christian
10. Batavia
Chicago Sun-Times:
1. Maine South
2. Bolingbrook
3. Glenbard West
4. Mount Carmel
5. Loyola
6. Wheaton Warrenville South (0-1)
7. Montini
8. Marist
9. Stevenson
10. Wheaton North
Chicago Tribune:
1. Bolingbrook
2. Maine South
3. Mount Carmel
4. Loyola
5. Glenbard West
6. Marist
7. Montini
8. Wheaton Warrenville South (0-1)
9. Lincoln-Way East
10. Wheaton North
Why did I list only ten? Why not? (Easier to focus.)
There are only five teams common to all rankings: Bolingbrook, Loyola, Glenbard West, Montini and Wheaton North.
How would I rank them? I'm not sure; but for starters, I'd certainly have Bolingbrook at the top. Last year's 8A champs are No. 1 until proven otherwise. (I think the Sun-Times is just being difficult.)
Prairie Ridge, Loyola, Montini, Mount Carmel, Aurora Christian (?), Maine South, Stevenson and possibly Marist may be all a tad overrated in one poll or another.
But Rockford Boylan, Glenbard West, Wheaton North, Lincoln-Way East, Batavia and Wheaton Warrenville South are all somewhat fairly ranked.
As I mentioned last week, rankings this early in the season are probably meaningless. But they're fun to talk about.
