I wish every date did it like we did in Wisconsin. 1A was the biggest, if you do it the other way you have to know how many classes there are to know if the competition is any good.

And, to make it more confusing - there is a different number of classes in Illinois, depending on the sport. There are four classes in basketball, three for soccer, four for track, etc.

At some point people have to stop betting against Bert.

Bert is perfect for Illinois. Even in a year when he really made a mistake with D coordinator he still has us improving and competative. That is a hell of an accomplishment at Illinois.

Is #1 Cignetti?

Clark Lea would be another guess.

Hard disagree. Vegas is extremely sophisticated and completely unbiased.

Consistently beating Vegas is the mark of a really impactful game planner.

Exactly! You say an athlete is in 5A and with no context you hang no idea if that's good. If 1A is the highest you automatically know if the competition is good or not. You know... like in college division 1 is the best
