We don't really have a 4A or 8A ranking for that matter. IF you put me on the line I will say these are some of the most likely contenders.
Bloomington (Central Catholic) 5-0, once again lots of talent.
Chillicothe (Illinois Valley Central) 5-0, new conference, new outlook
Newton 5-0, The runner-ups might want anotehr shot at the title
Mt. Carmel 5-0, for them to be 5-0 in teh conference tha they play in, watch out Illinois. The best part is, only a hand full of state teams will have the info on them, while every one in Indiana may already know. Hey you guys in 4A start making friends with some Indiana coaches.
Addison (Driscoll) 4-1 they got one hell of a program
Breese (Mater Dei) 5-0, talk to me after they beat Unity, Newton & that St. Louis team, who are all undefeated as well.

Somebody has to cover the entire state.
Harvard has a tough team. Undefeated at 7-0, including a dominating win over previously-ranked Hampshire. They've been flying under the radar until recently. I am very much NOT an expert when it comes to most of the other teams out of my region, but from a local standpoint, Harvard is very good.
The northern bracket for 4A is brutal this year. Several excellent games coming up in the near future. Bloomington Central Catholic vs. Addison Driscoll, a can't miss game. The Prairie Central/Pontiac was exactly as we expected it to be.
