7 hours until the brackets become official. Which of Soucie's projections do you want to see be wrong? Which do you hope hold up?

I think its Rice vs Normal Community in quarters then if Rice wins vs ESL in semis and then if they win that one most like Hersey or DGN in finals. Tough draw.

I think that the south side consensus is that East St Louis vs Brother Rice is going to be for the Illinois State Title of the World
Rice will need to play flawlessly, as they did against Mount Carmel, to beat the Flyers. Possible, but you never know.

I like Carmel Catholic’s path.

Gotta get right with the MSL (Elk Grove) and then a significant challenge with the DuKane’s best (Geneva). This is all based on Souc’s projections.

Nothing CCHS hasn’t already encountered this season, however.

We’ve seen elite QB play, size, speed, power, and different (triple-option), and have shown to be good at times.

Just have to show up and play a clean game (obviously).

Is their potential road Glenbard West, Batavia, ESL or Rita, Normal and Hersey. Some schools with history there.

We have our playoff field. 17 total 2-7 teams made the field with Rockford East being the last team in.

Normal Community being the 1 seed has by far the toughest path, Brother Rice in the quarterfinals and if they somehow make an upset play ESL in the semis.. As far as a potential Brother Rice vs ESL semis. this would be very interesting on who is the host for that game but high chance it would be at ESL

You guys are worried about the 2-7 teams while 3-6 Joliet Central got clocked by any team with a pulse

This would be extremely unlikely they’ll ever do. How would you feel if the IHSA added more teams and did a 1-64 bracket so no teams get a bye😂
