Find a 4A team that played a 8A school that was final 4 last year, 2 7A schools, both made the playoffs, one final 16 and knocked the other out 2nd round. Take into account Phillips dominated all 3 teams this years and I think you will find they have proven themselves. King and Raby are not easy teams as well, both playoff teams and will win their first game and in Raby's case a good chance to be final 8 in 3A. Phillips shut both of these teams out as well. King was 42-0 at halftime.

Either of these teams will have close, if not, a running clock put on them by Phillips. You cannot run on them. Manteno would be the best game for Phillips because they pass the ball. Not saying it will work just that Phillips has not had such a game other than Simeon and they fared poorly.
Simeon was good last year, but has beaten nobody this year. Fenwick and Carmel both were 3-6 this year. And the next time King and Raby beat a decent team in the playoffs will be the first time. Not saying Phillips isn't good, but their schedule wasn't.
As evidenced by the Montini game last year Geneseo will have no answer for Phillips speed.
Raby will be lucky to make it past the second round in 3A. And until King proves something outside of beating CPL teams, they aren't worth a top 10 in 4 or 5. They could prove me wrong, but, just like Leo a few years ago, I ain't buyin it until they prove something.
Only teams worth your time from the CPS are Phillips, Simeon and Curie. They are the only ones that can make it a game with other top programs in the state.
