Playoff victory margin: 26.4 points (Stevenson 63-29, Loyola 26-7, Barrington 42-0, Bartlett 23-6, Hinsdale Central 41-21). They outscored their opponents 590-117, including 202-44 in the playoffs, and the finished No. Future Illinois QB Reilly O'Toole passed for 3,187 yards and 42 TDs, and RB Matt Rogers rushed for 1,269 behind a line that included Kansas-bound Luke Luhrsen. They topped 40 points 11 times and allowed seven or fewer points nine times. They didn't win by fewer than 20 points until the final, when they won their second straight 7A title and seventh overall. Why the Tigers were great: They proved their bona fides early with a 44-7 rout of eventual 8A champ Maine South in Week 2 and never stopped rolling. Playoff victory margin: 30.2 points (Benet 49-7, Wheaton North 44-0, Glenbard West 40-20, Belleville East 41-7, Lake Zurich 28-17). But since so many great teams that did not lose failed to make the list, it simply doesn't seem right to include a team that did. How about a great team that ran into another great team in a great game during the playoffs? It happens. Are there champions that lost a game or two that deserve to make the list? Probably. If a team pitches a shutout for an entire season in the middle of a streak of seven straight undefeated seasons - it's in.Ĥ. One exception: The Pittsfield team from 1970 defeated its opponents 341-0. Similarly, a recent run of dominant Class 6A champions from Prairie Ridge, Nazareth, Springfield Sacred Heart-Griffin and Cary-Grove were too hard to differentiate from each other to include one over the others. Fans of small- and medium-sized schools - especially Bishop McNamara, Driscoll, Montini, Geneseo, Metamora, Rochester and Phillips' historic 2015 squad - have a right to be upset at their teams' absence here, but their best squads just did not play the level of competition that make comparisons to the teams represented here possible. The list is dominated by teams that currently play in Class 7A and 8A and those that competed in 5A and 6A before 2001's class expansion. So dynasties like the four-peats from Joliet Catholic (1975-78), Mount Carmel (1988-91) and Providence (1994-97) get one team on the list - as do repeat powerhouses such as Maine South 2008-09 and Richards 1988-89.ģ. Those four programs probably deserve to have more than their nine combined entries here, but a list of 32 teams that includes 20 or so from the same four schools isn't quite in the spirit of this type of projects. Likewise, Providence uses all its fingers to count its state championships - and Joliet Catholic and Mount Carmel have to use some of their toes. The Flyers from the year before might finish second, and the team before that might rank third. Louis' 1985 champs probably would win a poll as the state's greatest team. We have two teams from the 2010s, five from the 2000s, five from the 1990s, five from the 1980s, seven from the 1970s, three from the 1960s, two from the '50s, and one each from the '40s, '30s and 1910s. Each era is represented as fairly as possible.
