NorCal/SoCal Bowl Projections
There are lots of changes from last week’s board due to some upsets, looking at the map closer and some real juicy matchups coming to light such as possibility of longtime rivals St. Paul of Santa Fe Springs and Loyola of Los Angeles playing each other. CIF associate executive director Brian Seymour said on Tuesday...
NEW State Top 50 FB Rankings (1-25)
It’s time for the top two of the state (and nation) to meet again but a CIF Southern Section D1 title and trip to the CIF Open Division state final are up for grabs for the winner. The big rankings move is placing CIF San Diego Section Open Division champion Helix of La Mesa fifth....
NEW State Top 50 FB Ranks (26-50)
There are six newcomers this week, led by new No. 33 St. Paul of Santa Fe Springs after its big win over previous No. 28 Culver City. Three others still playing and going for section titles this week are Loyola of Los Angeles, San Joaquin Memorial of Fresno and Oceanside. We’ve also now reached that...
Preseason Girls BB Ranks (16-40)
Despite knowing that a few teams have already played at least once, it’s still that time of the year to present our preseason Top 40 of the best girls basketball teams from all across the state. This group is led by No. 16 Redondo Union of Redondo Beach and includes the rest of these teams […]
NEW Girls Volleyball State Top 20
After Tuesday’s regional championships, we’re down to Torrey Pines vs. Marin Catholic for the CIF Open Division state championship plus Vista Murrieta of Murrieta vs. Campolindo of Moraga for Division 1.

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.

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. […]

Officially, according to these rankings, it will be No. 1 Torrey Pines vs. No. 3 Cathedral Catholic in San Diego and No. […]
