We have compiled this week’s State 25 plus a combined look at the four CIF bowl game divisions (north and south teams now mixed together) heading into this week’s CIF state bowl games in Carson. One new team has joined the State 25 while No. 1 teams are De La Salle (D1), Clayton Valley (D2), El Capitan (D3) and Central Catholic (D4).

Note: We will be releasing final rankings next week for each north and south bowl game division as well as for combined bowl game divisions plus our traditional five-division breakdowns that have teams of the year listed back to the 1920s. To see those final rankings, they will be for Gold Club members. If you are not a member, please sign up today by CLICKING HERE.
We also plan to do divisional rankings next year in our previous five-division format if the new bowl game system is in place because each CIF bowl game division won’t really be known until they are selected. We’ll have an idea about one month ahead of time how the various projected section champions might possibly match up, but we won’t be able to do bowl game rankings like we have been. Therefore, since we have State Teams of the Year according to five divisions back more than 80 years, we’ll be highlighting teams of all sizes according to that format instead.

Always going to have a PAC 5 biased bosco should be 5 the top four should be the bowl game finalist period man no excuses Tennis. Just more disrespect!!
I don’t have excuses. St. John Bosco should be ahead of Oceanside this week. Period. Not that close of a call really. It only changes if Oceanside wins against Folsom.
