Once again, since the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section is the one for our home base in Stockton, we’ll put together a weekly Top 20 in football for that section this season. Watch the FOX40 Final Quarter this week on Friday at 10:45 p.m. for all the playoff highlights. Our Top 5 lists and the 11 p.m. half-hour show are done for the season.

Note: These are schools that were in the Division 5, D6 or D7 section playoffs. For D4 teams, Placer of Auburn (12-1) won the title.
This week’s D1 section final: Folsom vs. St. Mary’s at Sacramento State (Saturday afternoon).
This week’s D2 section final: Granite Bay vs. Del Oro at Sacramento State (Saturday night).
This week’s D3 section final: Oakdale vs. Manteca at Lincoln of Stockton (Friday night).
Note: For the CIF NorCal bowl games, if Granite Bay beats Del Oro and Oakdale wins in D3, Granite Bay will be placed in a higher division than Oakdale. For this week’s state and section rankings, we still have Oakdale higher but that would change for our rankings as well.
