Here are seven teams...

Jimmy Garoppolo is a 2010 graduate of Rolling Meadows High School.
...I'll bet you haven't heard much about: Rolling Meadows, Antioch, Lemont, Oswego, Bradley-Bourbonnais, St. Charles East and West Aurora.

What about 'em? you're probably wondering. Well, going into the last week of the regular season they are all undefeated.*
