Going by a points system based on final state top 20 rankings since the 1999-2000 school year and matching previous posts for schools of the century (so far) plus girls basketball, softball and baseball, here’s the list for football. With no 2020 season counted, the No. 1 position for De La Salle of Concord should be obvious since the Spartans have been No. 1 in California a remarkable 11 times in the last 20 years. It wasn’t that close for Centennial of Corona at No. 2, but it was very close for the next four: Mission Viejo, Mater Dei, Long Beach Poly and St. John Bosco.

Note: We have been compiling final state rankings for football in California since well before the start of the 21st century. The state top 20 as part of those final rankings have been done since 1991. For the purposes of this content, we went through all of those final rankings since 2000 and have awarded points for the following: six for State Team of the Year, five for No. 2, four for No. 3, three for No. 4 and No. 5, two for top 10 and one for top 20. There were no rankings for a 2020 season, but would add 2021 spring (if it happens) and 2021 fall at a later date.
