This is the second of four projections that will done prior to the CIF section commissioners meeting on Sunday, Nov. 30, to pick all of the regional bowl matchups.

Before going through all of the possible matchups, there are several major, important reminders for all to consider. We need to make them every year and every week since new people undoubtedly are looking at it for the first time.
First, there are always upsets in section playoffs in which the top seeded team in a bracket is knocked off in a section final or earlier. Each team listed in these projections is either the highest seeded team remaining in that bracket or it’s the team with the highest MaxPreps computer ranking.
