Editor's note: In the Illinois 10, Class A Super 7 and Class AA Super 7, the "Previous" column refers to the team's rank in relation to its peers in the First 50 poll. For example, Richmond-Burton was the third-highest-ranked small-school listed in the season-opening poll. That is what is reflected in the second column in its Class A Super 7 listing.
