NEW Medium/Small School FB Ranks
West Valley of Cottonwood takes over at top of the small school category, but must win in super tough Northern Section D3 playoffs to stay there. Previous No. 1 Half Moon Bay only dropped a few positions and could still finish No. 1 depending on how results play out the rest of the season. Newcomers...
NEW NorCal/SoCal Bowl Projections
Every team listed is now officially either a No. 1 seed or high seed in its section playoffs. The big change is putting Camarillo on the board for the CIF Southern Section Division IV playoffs. We also are agreeing with the CIF North Coast Section seeding of Clayton Valley (Concord) at the top of its...
CIF NorCal/SoCal Bowl Projections
We still have five CIF sections to finish the regular season (Central Coast, North Coast, Northern, SF & Oakland), but it’s not too early to start thinking about potential matchups for this year’s CIF Northern California and Southern California regional football championships. It’s almost boring at the top with the way that Mater Dei, St. […]
NEW Girls Volleyball State Top 20
You could argue that there will be two separate No. 1 vs. No. 2 state showdowns on Saturday in the CIF San Diego Section Open Division and CIF Southern Section Division I championships. Officially, according to these rankings, it will be No. 1 Torrey Pines vs. No. 3 Cathedral Catholic in San Diego and No. […]
NEW Medium/Small School FB Ranks
The only newcomer this week is Capital Christian of Sacramento in the medium schools top 15. Teams moving up include Palos Verdes and Hanford for medium plus Ripon, Rio Hondo Prep and Kennedy of Richmond for small. The trick for these rankings will be to evaluate teams that have to play up against much bigger...
Prep Notes With A Twist
This week’s version of our prep column includes our first look at what to look for regarding this year’s CIF Northern California and Southern California bowl games lineup. We think there’s a problem toward the top of the NorCal board without the Open Division section runner-up teams that were able to play in NorCal games...
NEW State Top 50 FB Ranks (26-50)
Vista Murrieta and Cardinal Newman make returns to the State Top 50 this week, but for different reasons. We also welcome in for the first time Oxnard and Steele Canyon of Spring Valley. One of those beat a previously ranked team to go in. The other is on track to be 9-0 when it faces...
Escalon Wins No. 1, No. 2 Showdown
There were some moments when Hilmar was threatening to tie or take the lead, but generally it was an impressive 34-21 triumph for the state’s top-ranked small school over a league foe that was considered No. 2 entering the night. It could still wind up easier for Hilmar to go far in the CIF state […]
Medium & Small School Ranks Begin
With competitive equity taking over California sections and how they conduct playoffs, certain schools can be forgotten as they are moved up and down in divisions with no regard at all for their size. We’ll still be doing CIF bowl game projections and at the end of the season will again do state rankings according […]
