The CCL/ESCC recently announced its new alignment for the next two football seasons.

Several teams in the 24-team grouping find themselves in different divisions than the last two seasons.

The league uses an algorithm that includes in league victories over the last two seasons, participants in the schools football program and boys enrolled in the school to determine which divisions they should be in.

Those categories are weighted to determine and overall score with the four highest programs being placed in the Blue Division. Those four teams are Brother Rice, Loyola, Marist and Mount Carmel.

The Green Division comes next and now features four teams that either won a state title, St. Francis (5A) and Montini (4A), finished as a state runner-up St. Rita (7A) or was a semifinalist Nazareth (6A).

Orange Division teams are Carmel, Fenwick, Providence and St. Ignatius, while White Division teams are DePaul Prep, IC Catholic, Joliet Catholic and St. Laurence.

The Purple Division includes Benet, Marmion, Notre Dame and St. Patrick while the Red Division has De La Salle, Leo, Marian Catholic and St. Viator.
