All teams fell in the state rankings this week except Bonita Vista (12-5), but all insignificantly, and the status quo dominated the local Tp 10 list. Now No. 4, Classical (20-4) dropped one state spot, although from 3 to 11 nationally. The Caimans topped No. 1 Newport Harbor (23-2) early in the season but were sunk by the Sailors, 37-0, last month.
The CIF flag playoff structure follows the format and selection process used for tackle football, one based on the Power Ranking algorithm of the MaxPreps/Calpreps system*.
Four divisions, based primarily on school (female) enrollment, will be filled with 12 teams each, seeded per their ranking. League champions are guaranteed a spot, no matter their record or ranking. See Steve Brand’s tackle football outline and examples here. The playoff participants will be posted Nov. 6, with first games Nov. 12.
