No disrespect but most of the CPS teams that are higher seeded playing non CPS teams will get beat & probably running clocked. Are those really upsets? Simeon a lower seed will running clock Lindblom. Is that really an upset?

6A and 7A are upsets in seeds only as Strength of Schedule comes into play.

Looking ahead to MC next opponent....I was checking out Nequa Valley and their schedule and record.....I think they have a punchers chance to beat Marist.....granted Marist 4 loses were to MC, BR, LA and Montini but they had close games with COM and really only blew out Marmion and the 2 CPS teams. I think Marist wins but won't be shocked if they don't. I think NV matches up pretty good with them

By quick glance…I count 31 teams with losing records winning in the opening round. Thats more than what I would have thought.

Very interested to see if round of 32 has more competitive games than normal. In theory it should.

Last night, home teams (teams with a bye) went 46-19. We'll see what happens today but it doesn't seem like the bye week effected too many teams.

Up until this year Glenbard North doesn't sniff a playoff bid. This year they're getting ready for a 2nd round matchup on their home field. I'm ok with this new setup. Giving teams a bye weeks gives them time to mend some injuries. More schools get to experience the playoffs. Either format will have a ton of blowouts so these statistics don't really do anything.

Then just let everyone in so everyone can feel all warm and tingly about making the playoffs.
