Since we are cranking up for the season I thought I would take a look at some of the team previews on Calpreps. I know there have been opinions all over the place on Calpreps on the board over the years (I know there are plenty who think it was full of crap). I have never thought it was that accurate especially before the season starts but I always thought it was at least a stable reference point year to year that gave you a general feel. Like it or not many sections are using the ratings for playoff seeding and where you start will impact how high the rating can get so I do track it more now than a couple years ago.
Either they think almost every team is way below their historical average or they have changed something in their calculations for power ratings. Doesn't seem so apparent for SJS teams but almost all are below historical averages. The CCS and NCS teams are way down outside of Serra. They have SF down -28.7 VC down -36.4 DLS down -18 Pitt down -17.8 Campo down -20 LG down -15 Wilcox down -24.6
Is NorCal football just getting drastically weaker or has something changed?
