The fairness issue in competitive equity-based divisions is something that nobody seems to talk about….We also go over updated state record lists for career passing, total offense, and schools trying to finish 16-0…Plus, we list the best player ever from each school still alive to win CIF state championships. If you can’t see this post,...

NEW State Top 25 FB Rankings
It’s CIF state championship week with nine teams in the State Top 25 heading to Sacramento, led by No. 1 St. John Bosco meeting No. 4 De La Salle in the Open Division. We couldn’t get all 10 going to Sac State into the rankings since we decided to leave in previous No. 10 Calabasas...
Five-Division State FB Rankings
Now that the CIF state bowl games are set, it’s time to start looking at how our traditional five-division state rankings will shape up for this season. We hope all five who end up No. 1 in two weeks will be CIF state champions, but it’s possible in Division IV and Division V that they...
CIF NorCal Bowl Board No. 8
Big move of the week is switching Sanger and Selma from the north to the south and vice-versa and we really liked how it balanced out both boards. Both teams still have to win Central Section titles, however, and Sanger will have to battle a surging team from Ridgeview of Bakersfield. We also forecast where...
CIF SoCal Bowl Board No. 8
With one giant out of the way, St. John Bosco of Bellflower will try to slay another and avenge earlier loss in CIF Southern Section Division I final on Saturday against Mater Dei. With the top of the board seemingly set up, the upper half gets shaken up due to our insertion of Sanger from...
CIF SoCal Bowl Board No. 6
There are no new teams on the SoCal board this week due to playoff byes and first-round wins (although the blowouts you generally see aren’t nearly as bad with the new competitive equity divisions in the Southern Section). We did move around many teams from Division 3A downward. Those moving up include Christian of El...
CIF NorCal Bowl Board No. 6
The fun part of these boards that it’s possible to run them in different combinations to see how they shape up. This week, we went back to using Bellarmine of San Jose as one of the projected three CCS Open Division champions. Next week, maybe we’ll put Sanger in the south and Bakersfield Christian in...
NEW State Top 25 FB Rankings
Of course, all eight teams in this week’s CIF Southern Section Division I quarterfinals pretty much all have to be state-ranked. Both Santa Margarita and Vista Murrieta earned their way in by beating previous No. 9 Gardena Serra and previous No. 21 Bishop Amat. All four CIF North Coast Section Open Division teams also remain...
More State Record Updates
A big welcome to Tehachapi’s Steve Denman for becoming just the eighth coach in state history to reach 300 career wins. We also have several new coaches on the 200-win list, including Sanger’s Chuck Shidan. That all-time state list has now been updated through Friday’s games. We also have updated where some of the top...
