Is Glenbard North...

...the most underrated team going into the Super-Sectionals? The No. 6 seed Panthers (25-5) are led by 6'5" senior Chip Flanigan, above, and take on Benet Academy (only No. 11 in the Tribune) tonight at Hinsdale Central. Missing from everyone's top ten, GBN is ranked No. 11 in the Sun-Times, No. 15 in the Tribune and -- what? -- No. 29 in MaxPreps.

The rankings are in from the three news services and I have just a few observations.

While the Trib and MaxPreps still don't quite know what to do with the thorny problem of Curie, Michael O'Brien (happy belated St. Patrick's Day!) leaves the Condors out completely.

The Trib and Sun-Times still have Simeon in their top ten and MaxPreps still has Springfield Lanphier and Fremd in theirs.

Oddly, MaxPreps also has Orr at No. 12, Bogan No. 17, Loyola No. 20, Rockford Auburn No. 30, North Chicago No. 36, Rockford Lutheran No. 56 and Peoria Notre Dame No. 93. All are still alive.

Here are this week's rankings (I think the Sun-Times has it best this week):
