Quincy Notre Dame moved to No. 2 in the Class 4A state football rankings, while Illini West remained at No. 1 in Class 3A and Brown County stayed at No. 2 in Class 1A poll that was released Tuesday.
QND moved up one spot behind Rochester after Bloomington Central Catholic was knocked from the ranks of the unbeaten last week. Rock Island Alleman, which plays against Quincy High School on Friday, is ranked No. 6 in the Class 4A poll.
Illini West throttled Pittsfield-Griggsville-Perry last week, sending the Saukees to their first loss — but not out of the top 10. PGP (6-1) is ranked 10th.
Brown County's victory over Triopia-Meredosia-Chambersburg kept the Hornets behind top-ranked Dakota. TMC fell to No. 5.
Here are the latest rankings of Illinois high school football teams in each class, according to an Associated Press panel of sportswriters:
