Cal high has a emphatic win over DLS if they beat monte vista and make it to the semi final against DV it would be very hard to place liberty above them in my opinion.
Will the 8th place team in the CCS Open still go to DI in Norcals?
3-7 CCS ok...thats 5
3- ? NCS ..6 teams Id think right?
and then 5 from SJS....
AND possibly Clovis from the south...
I'm thinking #8 in the CCS may get a D2 norcal bid...
H2H in the OPEN in football came into play.Its playoff time!!!
Anyone can win, especially with this new NCS Playoff format (Maxpreps bing the final arbiter of brackets)
In the Open Division
I think its pretty much locked in DLS, SRV, Salesian, Dublin, DV and Liberty
The only issue I foresee is Who should be #2 (if they go by Maxpreps only) then its SRV, but Salesian has the head to head at Gridley. As we learned last playoffs head to head wins mean nothing to the committee. (See last years D2 NCS seeding)
In Division One
I think Cal has locked it and deserves the #1 Seed. They have played a tough pre-season and have a really tough league which did pretty well in. I think Redwood with the win over Moreau should be the #2 seed. I would be very weary of drawing Amador Valley, Alameda or CVC is this bracket. This one will be a complete dogfight!
In Division Two
I think Moreau has locked in the #1 Seed. They have played a pretty tough preseason schedule (minus the blowouts in Hawaii) and easily handled their league as usual. Cardinal Newman should be the #2 seed and they have been playing pretty good as of late! Earlier this year I had St. Mary's Berkeley at the #2 seed, but with their loses in league to Albany and Bethel I have them on the 3 line (btw Moreau, Newman and SMB are all D4 so I think with the way the rules are set up now they will all qualify for Nor-Cals no matter how they finish)
In Division Three
I think Branson is the #1 Seed. Pedigree and history of program plus losing top player and still competing at a high level (almost beat Redwood) gives them the nod. I have Cornerstone as the #2 seed barely edging SJND and San Domenico.
Im curious to how this all pans out.
Will the 8th place team in the CCS Open still go to DI in Norcals?Agree. But the CCS poobahs seem fixated on an eight-team Open bracket. Forcing Los Gatos (or another public) into the Open really hurts them at the NorCal seeding meeting. The Open status is actually bogus but it gives the NorCal seeding committee the impetus to place them in Division I. Not helpful.
does it matter that st. Bernard's is a D6 school? but they are placed in D3 here?thanks for doing this research. i've updated the sheet to reflect this.

Agree. But the CCS poobahs seem fixated on an eight-team Open bracket. Forcing Los Gatos (or another public) into the Open really hurts them at the NorCal seeding meeting. The Open status is actually bogus but it gives the NorCal seeding committee the impetus to place them in Division I. Not helpful.Los Gatos is a good. Sara Quilici Giles leaned over the scorer's table in the second half and said "This doesn't seem like a 30-point game -- or is it just me?"
And no, it didn't feel that way. Junior Sophia Ross went off for Carondelet with eight threes and 39 points, which skewed that margin, but overall Los Gatos didn't look out of place.
That said, CCS should let the privates be privates and go to war with each other.
My message was in reference to the girls brackets.My understanding is that the Salesian boys asked to be put in D1.
My understanding is that the Salesian boys asked to be put in D1.Thank you so much for your work on this... One note on the girls side (I know this is a boys thread)- Salesian is a D4 school, so they should be in the D2 bracket. Thank you again for your work on this!
Got it! I've updated the code (and girls sheet). Thank you!Thank you so much for your work on this... One note on the girls side (I know this is a boys thread)- Salesian is a D4 school, so they should be in the D2 bracket. Thank you again for your work on this!
