Go through this post for the final rankings for every CIF state division for the 2020 season. Declaring co-champions for each of the cancelled state finals could still be done by the CIF, but we will continue to not have ties in any of our state rankings. With respect to the teams that may have been able to upset the higher-ranked team at the end, final No. 1 teams are Sierra Canyon (Open), Ribet Academy (D1), St. Francis of La Canada (D2), Arroyo Grande (D3), Bakersfield Christian (D4) and San Domenico of San Anselmo (D5).
