CIF Bowl Boards 1 (North & South)
With the football regular season about to end in every section of the state except two (CIF Central Coast Section & CIF Northern Section), we’re going to take our first shot at breaking down all of the possibilities for this year’s CIF NorCal & SoCal regional bowl game matchups.

Bosco thunders past Mater Dei
There won’t be any disagreements at the top of every national ranking next week after St. John Bosco tops Mater Dei on Saturday night in one of those rare No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchups. The Braves will now be favored to win the CIF Southern Section Division I title and CIF Open Division state […]

NEW State Top 50 FB Ranks (1-25)
We only dropped Orange Lutheran one spot for losing to No. 4 Corona Centennial in what was a tight game until midway in the fourth quarter. Centennial also may benefit later on in CIFSS D1 playoff seedings due to No. 1 Mater Dei now having a forfeit loss. The one team getting a strong boost...

Preseason State 50 Football Ranks (1)
