1ST LOOK: Five-Division FB Rankings
With no upcoming playoffs to consider and limited games, it’s super-hard to do rankings in this same five-division format that was begun more than 40 years ago by Cal-Hi Sports founder Nelson Tennis. But it was super-hard for all of the players and coaches to be able to play at all during this school year […]
FINAL State Ranks By Five Divisions
We’re still not done with final state football rankings. Here are the No. 1 teams for the 2019 season according to our traditional five-division state breakdowns: St. John Bosco (D1), Clayton Valley of Concord (D2), Cardinal Newman of Santa Rosa (D3), Ripon (D4) and Caruthers (D5). The No. 1 choice for D5 was the most...
FINAL Medium/Small School Ranks
We’ve already announced Clayton Valley of Concord (medium) and Ripon (small) as the final No. 1 teams in these classifications. Here are the final top 15 teams for each plus five more expanded teams in order and a few more added on as honorable mention. Medium school teams moving up at the end include Camarillo...
NEW Medium/Small School FB Ranks
We have it all broken down with which teams will end No. 1 in the state for these categories depending on what happens in this week’s CIF state championships. Heading into those games, sitting in the No. 1 positions are Aquinas of San Bernardino (medium) and Ripon (small). Newcomers this week are Oxnard and Palos...
NEW Medium/Small School FB Ranks
San Joaquin Memorial of Fresno goes to the top for medium schools and is the only medium school above 2-AA in the CIF regional bowl games. We also have three new teams in medium this week — Temecula Valley, Manteca and Oceanside El Camino. For the small schools, Sutter remains in the No. 1 position...
NEW Medium/Small School FB Ranks
We have two new No. 1 teams this week as St. Paul (Santa Fe Springs) takes over at the top for medium schools while Sutter does the same for small. The medium pecking order also was pretty much completely overhauled by a lot of higher seeded teams losing in section playoffs. Newcomers for medium include...
Paradise Wins 11-0 vs 11-0 Showdown
There was only one section football playoff game on Friday night in all of Northern California that matched both teams at 11-0. And in that CIF Northern Section Division 3 contest, Paradise proved it’s more than just a feel-good story with a road win against West Valley of Cottonwood. These Bobcats are playing for more […]
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 Medium/Small School FB Ranks
There were lots of section playoff byes and other teams that didn’t play last week, but there was one result from the CIF Southern Section first round — Palos Verdes of PV Estates falling to Loyola in D4 — that caused some changes to this week’s medium schools rankings. For small schools, we have come...
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...
