Check out who's surging and who's flopping in EDGY Tim's Week 9 Preps Power Rankings.

This Week: at Stevenson

EDGY's Take: The Blue Devils will need to refocus after a surprising loss to the Zee-Bees. 

Last Week: Beat Geneva, 45-21

This Week: vs. Batavia

EDGY's Take: The North Stars are going big-game hunting taking on Batavia this Friday. 

Last Week: Lost to Loyola, 28-3

This Week: vs. Mount Carmel at Gately Stadium

EDGY's Take: The Celtics’ three losses have come to opponents with a combined 22-2 record. 

Last Week: Beat Plainfield South, 34-3

This Week: at Plainfield Central

EDGY's Take: The Panthers are that one team other teams draw in the playoffs and say, "Who are they?" And then say, "I can't believe they beat us." 

Last Week: Beat St. Viator, 35-7

This Week: at Marian Catholic

EDGY's Take: Beep-Beep! Here they come, Class 6A. Look out for the Roadrunners. 

Last Week: Lost to Hinsdale Central, 21-20

This Week: vs. OPRF

EDGY's Take: The Lions have lost two of their last three games. A win this week would be really, really nice in terms of playoff momentum.  

Last Week: Beat Thornton, 22-6

This Week: at Lincoln-Way Central

EDGY's Take: The Raiders have to prepare for the state's top-ranked team on a short week, thanks to Saturday’s storms.

This Week: vs. Marmion Academy

EDGY's Take: The Mustangs are in line for a strong seed in Class 7A. 

Last Week: Beat Kankakee, 59-0

This Week: vs. Cahokia

EDGY's Take: The best part about playing the Commanches this week? It's a home game for Crete-Monee.

Last Week: Lost to Naperville Central, 14-7

This Week: at Waubonsie Valley

EDGY's Take: Old School football rules. Wheaton North has proven a lot of us wrong so far in 2017.

Last Week: Beat Waukegan, 42-0

This Week: vs. Warren Township

EDGY's Take: The Patriots will now look to get a big Week 9 win (and improved playoff seeding) against the Blue Devils.  

Last Week: Beat Larkin, 35-6

This Week: at St. Charles North

EDGY's Take: The Bulldogs’ defense has been as good as any in Illinois. But this week brings a whole new set of issues.   

Last Week: Beat Lyons Township, 21-20

This Week: at Hinsdale South

EDGY's Take: The Red Devils have done a lot of things well so far this season.

This Week: at McHenry

EDGY's Take: The Red Raiders have their sights on a state title in 8A. 

Last Week: Beat Schaumburg, 48-20

This Week: vs. Conant

EDGY's Take: The Broncos have chartered through the dangerous waters of the Mid-Suburban West exceptionally well.

Last Week: Beat Solorio, 14-9

This Week: TBA, CPL Playoffs

EDGY's Take: A bit of concern after last week's close win over Solorio? 

Last Week: Beat Libertyville, 40-14

This Week: at Mundelein

EDGY's Take: The Bears are heading towards Class 7A with a ton of momentum.

Last Week: Beat Benet Academy, 38-24

This Week: vs. Joliet Catholic

EDGY's Take: One thing I know: this Marist team will NOT take its opening round opponent lightly. 

Last Week: Beat New Trier, 45-7

This Week: at Niles West

EDGY's Take: Trust me: you want nothing to do with these guys come 8A playoff time. 

Last Week: Beat Jacobs, 30-16

This Week: vs. Dundee-Crown

EDGY's Take: Gotta be impressed when the Wolves can beat a quality team in Jacobs, minus Superman (Samson Evans). 

Last Week: Beat Thornwood, 49-6

This Week: at Bolingbrook

EDGY's Take: Can the Griffins' defense lock down the versatile, athletic Bolingbrook offense?
