Team Rankings: Post-Regionals Top 40

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The opening week of the IHSa playoffs came to a close on Friday. While there isn't a whole lot of movement, there were still six different teams in our rankings who lost in the regional finals on Friday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>But fortunately, five of those six teams faced squads who were also ranked. Most notably New Trier and St. Patrick, who are both top 20 in our rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Only one team, Simeon, joins our rankings this week after pulling off a pair of upsets against Riverside-Brookfield and Whitney Young. They'll face St. Ignatius on Tuesday at Mt. Carmel in what will be a more exciting game than most think. Especially since the [program_tooltip program_id='2076046' first='Wolverines' last=''] have just one loss against a Chicago-area opponent this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>FULL Rankings</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Rank</strong></td><td><strong>Team</strong></td><td><strong>Sectional Seed</strong></td><td><strong>Sectional Matchup</strong></td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-right" data-align="right">1</td><td>Benet</td><td>#1 at Bolingbrook (4A)</td><td>vs #13 Yorkville</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-right" data-align="right">2</td><td>DePaul Prep</td><td>#1 at Loyola (4A)</td><td>vs #5 New Trier&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-right" data-align="right">3</td><td>Curie</td><td>#1 at Mt.
