Michael O'Brien's Super 25 high school football rankings for Week 14
Thirteen weeks of football are over, and the top four teams in the Super 25 are the exact same as they were in the preseason rankings.
This week, based on the semifinal results, there was some minor rearranging. York's run in Class 8A continued, and the Dukes are up to No. 7.
DePaul Prep makes its Super 25 debut for the season and likely in school history. The Rams were fun to watch on Saturday in Coal City.
Lincoln-Way East drops just one spot. The Griffins played Loyola much closer than Mount Carmel did, so that was an easy decision.
Nazareth over Geneva for the No. 4 spot was the toughest decision of the week. The Roadrunners' resume made the difference. Nazareth has wins against Kankakee, Joliet Catholic, St. Rita and St. Francis.
