The team climbing up the most among this group is Pittsburg of the CIF North Coast Section after its big road win at St. Mary’s of Stockton. We also have four newcomers that are coming into this week’s rankings — Orange Lutheran, Monterey Trail of Elk Grove, Lincoln of San Diego and Del Oro of...

NEW State Top 50 FB Rankings
Since this will be the next-to-last State Top 50 football rankings and we have a majority of teams listed as season complete, we’ll do this week’s feature in one post instead of two. Next week’s final State Top 50 will be two and with more extensive breakdowns of each team. For this week, the CIF...
Folsom buries Central with 84 points
Going on the road to Fresno to face 13-0 Central High of Fresno didn’t prove to be roadblock for the Folsom football team in its attempt to repeat as CIF D1-AA state champions. The Bulldogs revved up their engines for an 84-46 win in one of those performances we’ve seen many times in the last […]
NEW State Top 50 FB Ranks (1-25)
After the big win over St. John Bosco, Mater Dei takes over at the top of the state, which is where the Monarchs started this season and ended last season. The rest of the top 11 from last week is unchanged, and we didn’t move up Upland that far after it defeated previous No. 12...
NEW State Top 50 FB Ranks (26-50)
There were some tough choices to make this week right at the end, but teams getting the nod that weren’t in there last week are St. Mary’s of Stockton, Camarillo and Helix of La Mesa. Two teams in this group also were given solid upward bumps — new No. 33 Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks...
Just the Picks: CIF Football Finals
As is our tradition, we go through each of the 13 upcoming CIF state football championship games and provide a predicted final score. We think a lot of NorCal teams will be successful on the road and perhaps one of the biggest underdogs is team with six state titles in the last seven years.
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...
FB: Sac-Joaquin Section Top 25 (13)
St. Mary’s being higher-ranked than Folsom proved to be correct as the Rams rolled over the Bulldogs 56-25 to win SJS Division I title. The bigger question for the section rankings, however, is what to do about Del Oro as it looks to win a second straight CIF state title. Should the Golden Eagles continue […]
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...
