The rankings are in...

...and the only significant change in the three news outlets I follow is in MaxPreps, where Homewood-Flossmoor vaulted 13 spots to No. 3 after its decisive 48-20 win over Bolingbrook.

In his column in the Sun-Times, Michael O'Brien mentions Brother Rice:

The Crusaders are now 1-3 after losing to Montini on Friday. 

The path to the playoffs looks very difficult for Brother Rice. The Crusaders have home games remaining against Providence and St. Rita and travels to Mount Carmel, St. Joseph and Loyola.

Brother Rice was 9-3 last year. Who else is under- or over-performing versus 2016? I'll take a look at that tomorrow.

In the meantime, here are the rankings this week (undefeated unless otherwise noted):
