When the CIF state bowl games began in 2006, there was no Open Division and teams in the three divisions were determined by school enrollment almost as much as they were by what those teams did on the field.

Just for fun, we thought we would take a look at this year’s teams after all of this year’s games were complete and compile final Cal-Hi Sports state rankings according to enrollment-based divisions.

Instead of three divisions, we went with five and basically broke the teams into the same five divisions they would fall in for the CIF boys and girls basketball state playoffs.

The primary difference with the enrollment-based divisions and the current format is the number of Catholic schools that would fall into the Division III enrollment-based division. Both CIF Open Division state champ St. John Bosco and CIF Division II state champ Chaminade of West Hills would be D3 by enrollment. The list of top-ranked D3 teams by enrollment also includes Alemany of Mission Hills, Servite of Anaheim and many others.

Based on those enrollment cutoffs and the final state overall rankings, the No. 1 teams for these divisions would be De La Salle of Concord for D1, Folsom for D2, St. John Bosco for D3, Serra of Gardena for D4 and Central Catholic of Modesto for D5.

Here are the final Cal-Hi Sports state football rankings for 2013 based on enrollment divisions used by the CIF for basketball and/or for the CIF bowl games prior to 2010 season (note: the order of teams from the overall final state top 50 was altered slightly for some of the teams in the D2 enrollment division):
