Who's Number 1 in Illinois High School Football?

School is back in... weather is changing... and some teams picked up from the 2012 season, while others are making a "new" name for themselves. And since we do not provide pre-season polls, on behalf of AmateurSports365.com, we respect their purpose, and take our approach of listing schools you need to pay attention to.  Yup, it's AmateurSports365.com POLL time...
