I know this is a little early and we are still unpacking week 1, but I can't sleep and I have the time to look at this now
ICE Power Rankings
1) Wilmo (1-0)- champs until otherwise
2) CC (1-0)- still holding here strong
3) Manteno (1-0)- solid win over a solid team
4) Peotone (1-0)- was this win the return of the tone?
5) RC (1-0)- win doesn't tell us much
6) Lisle (1-0)- I don't want to jump the gun and I really want to see more data
7) Herscher (0-1)- that was a needed win and they didn't perform
8) Streator (0-1)- gonna be a long year
Week 2 Games
Decatur (St. Theresa) (1-0) @ Braidwood (1-0) - I know it seems like Ol' Wilmatucky just loves to hate on Braidwood, but I don't feel like the glorified practice against Harvard is much to beat the chest about. St. T beat Quincy Notre Dame and that is a pretty solid win IMO. I do think that the Comets are in the middle of the ICE, but this one will be a little too much for them. They will keep it close though. St. T 28 Braidwood 21
Morris (1-0) @ Coal City (1-0) - GOTW! Big powerhouse matchup for the Coalers and a big rivalry as well. Morris beat Lemont with ease and would like to do the same to the CC. CC didn't have much of a game after their storm delay this weekend, but the talk around the area is that this is one of the tougher CC teams as of late. If the Coaler defense can play physical ball and get a few turnovers I think this has potential for a great game. I think it is close to start then Morris gradually pulls away to a two score victory. Morris 35 CC 21
Herscher (0-1) @ Bishop Mac (0-1) - The loss to Canton has told me all I need to know about where Herscher is at currently. Mac Rolls Mac 45 Herscher 7
Lisle (1-0) @ Elgin St. Edward (1-0) - Although it was a nice win for Lisle after a year off, I still need to see more. St. Eddie is no world beaters, but I think they have enough to sneak past Lisle. I do think this will be a good game given the points Lisle put up in week 1. Eddy 41 Lisle 31
Manteno (1-0) @ Plano (0-1) - Plano has not been good for awhile and Manteno had a quality win in week 1. Manteno 35 Plano 13
Peotone (1-0) @ Marengo (1-0) - Marengo put up a ton against Streator which doesn't mean much. Peotone may be on the upward tick here, but I don't think they will be able to muster out the win. Should be a good one though. Marengo 30 Peotone 24
Ottawa (1-0) @ Streator (0-1) - Ottawa with ease. Ottawa 49 Streator 14
Wilmington (1-0) @ Morrison (1-0) - I would have liked to see more points from Wilmo in week 1, but a win is a win. No data on Morrison as they took a forfeit in week 1. I like the Cats to be a little stronger this week and I think they finally get the double wing rolling. Wilmo 28 Morrison 7
