WA would have been average team in Southwest Prairie at best. Left to go win in a terrible football conference and did what they hoped. Had a great season but most of SP conference would have rolled that whole conference as well.

West Aurora defeated Huntley 31-21 in the 8A playoffs. Huntley was an average team in the Fox Valley Conference. The Fox Valley Conference is a better conference than the Southwest Prairie West Conference. It is therefore logical to conclude West Aurora would have probably been better than an average team in the Southwest Prairie West Conference. They probably would have finished third behind Oswego and Minooka.

West Aurora also convincingly beat Glenbard East 45-20. Glenbard East, in turn, defeated Willowbrook, a team comparable to Plainfield South (both of them having lost close games to Downers Grove South). Willowbrook finished in second place in the West Suburban Gold Conference and also defeated NIC-10 Conference champion Hononegah (unbeaten at the time) in the playoffs. West Aurora would have easily won the Southwest Prairie East Conference.

The ghost of UpState 8 strikes again. Teams coming out of the UEC need a 1.65 multiplier on their rankings!

Yes, agree for sure with you the SPC East is terrible. I really don't consider it part of the SPC. Most if not all of the West side would have won the East.

Glad to see we all agree that they should have stayed in the SPC and challenged themselves. Probably would have been better prepared for the playoffs than they were.
