...in Illinois high school football, according to the three main rankings. (All teams are undefeated unless otherwise noted.)

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.
