That analysis is spot-on. One caveat: Those two very close Aptos losses to solid teams would indicate that the Mariners are right on the cusp of a top ten rating. But, again, those were losses. We can't change the facts.
CCS Final Top 10 and year in Review
- Thread starter PALbooster
- Start date
Palma and Salinas probably should be rated in the mid 20s. Palma got penalized at this stage for 1) starting rating was way below last season and they are just as good 2) Mitty game was close than score reflects since game was tied until last 7 minutes and Palma imploded at end. 3) Better win than St Ig win over Palo Alto (I would take Oakdale over Paly). Salinas also is better than their rating although at least on defense not where they were last season. Their offense is scary and they are also under rated as far as calpreps weighting due to start rating. Salinas will be a matchup issue with many of the teams in the top ten if they played. Aptos isn't as good as last season but still probably in the 20s. These three teams will battle each other because they know each other well in league. My point is where they will end. I really don't care at this stage, but Calpreps early rating numbers seemed off and reason so tough to call pickems....because they are subjected at first and will penalize some teams even when dropped the initial rating given their league strength. Gab again is decent at the top 3 and next two are verage with Carmel not as strong as last season (but still could be a tough matchup in small school playoffs). San benito seems not as good as last season or a tad below. VC, Serra, and Wilcox seem to be the class in the league, and maybe MA at next tier and the rest probably pretty close...SF is down, Mitty maybe a little better than last season or about same, rest probably close and I think if Palma and Mitty played again it would be close.
I think Calpreps rating were too low for CCS in general. The WCAL teams at top seemed to start lower than last season at the top (some warranted e.g. SF). Related to these teams I just look at what they have and it is subjective but Calpreps penalized them in the beginning and due to league strength at lower teams (Carmel not as good as last season but good small school and Hollister probably not as good, and rest relatively low strength). With new playoff changes, the format looks like it will penalize some of the smaller teams in the league. I still think these teams are as good as 6-12. Wilcox should take Los Gatos which didn't have a very strong nonleague. Wilcox is probably way too low and maybe the 3rd or 4th top team in the section - they lost to Pitt but probably win 6 out of 10 times if they have their top player in the game who is a huge impact player/
NOrCal I would agree with you regarding CalPreps/Freeman ratings system. They seemed to make some changes to it in the last 2-3 years to where many CCS teams are starting out much lower in the pre-season ratings. I've followed these ratings for many years and something has changed as most teams simply have much lower pre-season ratings.
Here's a couple examples: VC finished 2018 rated 50.6 and while returning most of its core players starts 2019 at 40.8 or 10 points lower. This is despite VC's "dynasty rating avg" from 2003-2018 of 47.6 while forecasting that VC will go 10-0 undefeated in regular season games this season. So this was the lowest ranked VC team in 16 seasons[?]..
Serra is even more dramatic on the ratings drop to start the season. Serra finished 2018 at 33.3 and also returns most of its core players & starts 2019 at a ridiculous 14.6 of 19 points lower. Serra's 2003-2016 dynasty rating avg is just under VC's at 47.4 . Serra was projected to go 4-6 this season and the Padres pre-season rating was worse by 33 points than their 16 year avg.
This pre-season the ratings were the lowest I've seen to date for the WCAL teams.
There are some exceptions though:
North Coast: Liberty ends 2018 with rating of 64 and 2019 pre-season rating of 60.9 though Liberty does not appear nearly as strong a team as last season.
Here's a couple examples: VC finished 2018 rated 50.6 and while returning most of its core players starts 2019 at 40.8 or 10 points lower. This is despite VC's "dynasty rating avg" from 2003-2018 of 47.6 while forecasting that VC will go 10-0 undefeated in regular season games this season. So this was the lowest ranked VC team in 16 seasons[?]..

Liberty is probably 30s at best in its rating based on what I have seen. I can understanding them at beginning starting where they did with the QB and what they returned but they seem to still be too high. Again my opinion.
Clovis scored with 95 seconds left instead of taking a knee. Salinas answered... and quickly.
But, feel free to continue to display your ignorance, since you don’t know what actually happened in the game.

The point formula for the CCS became even more complicated this year. There are 4 basic point categories.
1. Wins - you get 2 points for every win.
2. Schedule - You get 1 point for every A team you play, 0.5 points for every B team you play and 0 points for every C team you play.
A. In Section Games - When you play a CCS team their designation of an A team, B team or C team is designated by league. Any team that is a member of the the Deanza, Mt. Hamilton, PAL-Bay, Gabilan or WCAL is an A team whether it is Serra or Gilroy. The five B team leagues are the El Camino, PAL-Ocean, Cypress, Mission and Santa Teresa, the three C team leagues are West Valley, PAL-Lake and Santa Lucia.
B. Out of Section games - If the teams final calpreps rating is above 8 they are an A team, if their rating is between 8 and -20 they are a B team and if there rating is less than -20 they are a C team. This is based on the ratings an hour prior to the seeding committeee meeting at season's end so an opponents rating could change as the season progresses.
3. Bonus Points. There are several ways to achieve bonus points.
A. Playing a league champion - you get 1 point if you played a league champion (0.5 points for playing a co-champion and 0.333 for playing a tri-champion). Everyone in a league who is not a league champion achieves 1 point for this. This is regardless of the league level.
B. Winning a league championship - you get 2.5 points if you win an A league, 2 points if you win a B league and 1.5 points if you win a C league. These pints are split accordingly if there are co or tri champions.
C. Two additional bonus points for playing an opponent that is ranked as one of the top 100 teams in CA by Calpreps at year end. Right now there are four CCS tams in the state top 100 (Serra, VC, St. Francis and Los Gatos). Every team that plays them gets two bonus points if they end the year in the top 100. This applies to non-CCS opponents. Right now CCS teams have collectively played 12 teams rated in the state top 100 (for out of state teams like East of Utah you look at their Calprep rating and see if it would place them in the top 100 in CA.
D. One additional bonus point for playing a team rated between 101-150 in the final Calprep state rankings. Right now Wilcox, Half Moon Bay, Mitty, Menlo-Atherton and Saint Ignatius are ranked between 101-150 and each of their opponents gets one extra point. There are also out of section teams that CCS teams have played that fall into this category.
4. Norcal Prep rating
Once the field of 40 teams is selected for the play-offs (33 automatic qualifiers plus 7 at-large), the teams are stacked from top to bottom based on their Calprep rating. The top team (currently, Serra) receives 40 additional points, the next team (currently VC) gets 39, etc.
The final point title is the addition of all these elements. Once people have their total points the teams that are the top 8 in total points are in Division I, the next 8 in Division II, etc.. The only other important thing to note is that a single league (like the WCAL or Gabilan) is limited to no more than 6 teams making the play-offs. If there are no head ot head or common opponent tie-breakers the team with the highest Calpreps ranking wins a tie-breaker.
Much more complicated system to track this year and it keeps changing as out of section opponents ratings change and which teams are in the top 100 or top 150 change.
1. Wins - you get 2 points for every win.
2. Schedule - You get 1 point for every A team you play, 0.5 points for every B team you play and 0 points for every C team you play.

PALbooster...And that is why you are simply amazing. Your computer skills have to be out of this world. You must have the patience of a pope especially with the top 100/150 stuff. And you must also be single or have a wife/family who is a saint.
What is the reasoning for the additional 40 points to the number one seed and etc. ?
The CCS acknowledged that the old system alone had oddities like the 2nd best team in a division being the #6 seed. The Calpreps integration is to make the seeding more accurate.
Week 6 Preview
Deanza - Big week in the Deanza as Los Gatos travels to Wilcox in a game that will likely decide the league championship. Calpreps projects a 9 point Los Gatos win but I think these teams are pretty evenly matched and would be surprised if the score isn't closer. Another important game has an undefeated Mountain View traveling to Milpitas with Mountain View listed as an 11 point favorite. This game is likely to determine the fourth automatic bid from the league and Milpitas is unlikely to make the play-offs with a loss (Mountain View is in good shape to get an at-large berth as a 5th place team).
Gabilan - The only interesting game here is between Aptos and Carmel with the winner likely to be in the top 4 and gain an automatic berth and the loser looking at having to gain an at-large berth.
WCAL - The closest game is projected to be a 21 point victory. Big surprise if Serra, VC, St. Francis and Mitty don't all win by more than one score.
PAL-Bay - League play starts this week for four of the six teams with Burlingame and SHP big favorites over Aragon and Terra Nova.
Mt.Hamilton - A fair amount of parity in this league which is by far the weakest of the 5 A leagues. Lincoln and Leland play tonight a battle between two upper division teams. The more important game for the play-offs will be the Santa Teresa vs Piedmont Hills game. With a win Santa Teresa will almost certainly wrap up a 5th place finish or better (since Lincoln doesn't participate int he play-offs, the 5th place team gets an automatic bid). A Piedmont Hills win will put them in the driver's seat for 5th place.
PAL-Ocean - Half Moon Bay plays one of the two top threats for the league title (Carlmont is the other) when they square off against undefeated San Mateo.
Cyprus - The top two ranked teams int he league face-off as undefeated Soquel plays at North Monterey County. The winner will have a leg up on the league's only automatic bid.
Mission - Monte Vista Christian and Monterey are the second and third ranked teams in this league which has three automatic berths. They play each other this week,
El Camino - Saratoga faces off against the highest ranked team in their league Monta Vista and are a 30 point favorite.
Santa Teresa - The only game that is projected within one score this week is Overfelt and Silver Creek which are both 1-0 in league play.
West Valley - Two of the leagues top three teams square off as Gunderson is a five point favorite over Mt. Pleasant.
Santa Lucia - not much of interest here as Pacific Grove is a strong favorite to win the league and plays a weak Harbor team this week as a 28 point favorite.
PAL-Lake - no games this week - all teams have a bye and start league play next week.
Deanza - Big week in the Deanza as Los Gatos travels to Wilcox in a game that will likely decide the league championship. Calpreps projects a 9 point Los Gatos win but I think these teams are pretty evenly matched and would be surprised if the score isn't closer.

Santa Lucia - not much of interest here as Pacific Grove is a strong favorite to win the league and plays a weak Harbor team this week as a 28 point favorite.
PAL-Lake - no games this week - all teams have a bye and start league play next week.
Regarding the PAL-Lake, it might be worth noting that two of the six teams in this C league are in danger of being unable to finish out the season. Both winless Woodside (which forfeited last week) and winless South San Francisco (allowing 56 points per game) are operating with extremely thin rosters. Even their JV teams are shaky (SSF forfeited last week). A third Laker, El Camino, is also in bad shape. But both Woodside and SSF appear to be on life support at this point.
El Camino will not quit tho. Not a great program by any means but if there is one program who will always play hard and fight you tooth and nail, it's the Colts.
I wonder if EC will end up the beneficiary of SSF demise? Maybe kids find ways to gravitate over there for football the way Gunn kids do to Paly or Saratoga kids to LG?
I think that has been happening for a while. I was thinking more the neighborhood kid who isn't leaning in the private direction. Would have normally suited up for the warriors but now thinking otherwise.
I really hope either EC or SSF benefits and it will be sooner than later. This season is lost. At the molasses pace of school districts I hope this issue is being discussed now for the sake of these kids.
No.
To my understanding that district is very strict on kids attending the school they are assigned to.
CCS Top 10 Rankings After Week 6 (Saturday results not considered)
Wilcox just crushed Los Gatos 37-0 in the this week and basically wrapped up the DeAnza league. Valley Chrisitan is playing SI today as the only other match-up among top 10 teams. The win lifted Wilcox to number 4 and dropped Los Gatos to number 10. The other big movers this week were MA moving from 8 to 5 with their win over Arroyo Grande and Mitty dropping from 7 to 10 after narrowly avoiding an upset over Riordan with a 24-21 win.
Next week the WCAL features two games with top ten teams playing each other as #8 SI plays #3 St. Francis and #10 Mitty challenges #1 Serra.

Play-off Projections
This weeks results saw the projections for league champions change in three leagues as Wilcox is now projected to win the Deanza over Los Gatos, North Monterey County nipped Soquel 17-14 to take the top spot int he Cypress league and Mount Pleasant beat Gunderson 7-0 and is now projected to win the West Valley league.
In the overall field three teams were added this week. Hillsdale as an at-large replacing Santa Clara. Hillsdale got a big boost in bonus points as HMB and MA moved into the top 100 and SHP into the top 150 which gave them three extra points. North Monterey County was added moving Soquel to an at-large and bumping Milpitas and Mount Pleasant replaced Evergreen Valley as the West Valley champions.

Wilcox just crushed Los Gatos 37-0 in the this week and basically wrapped up the DeAnza league. Valley Chrisitan is playing SI today as the only other match-up among top 10 teams. The win lifted Wilcox to number 4 and dropped Los Gatos to number 10. The other big movers this week were MA moving from 8 to 5 with their win over Arroyo Grande and Mitty dropping from 7 to 10 after narrowly avoiding an upset over Riordan with a 24-21 win.

Strongly urging CCS staff to hire PALbooster to do season-end rankings prior to the seedings meeting on November 10. As complicated as this has become, the thought of the inexperienced CCS staff trying to get this correct between the time the final game(s) play out on November 9 and the time the meeting starts the following day is mind-boggling.
If memory serves, this wise fellow does indeed assist the CCS poobahs when the seeding meeting looms.
PalBooster-
How is CCS treating the Gilroy cancellations? On Cal preps it shows the most of the Gabilan teams playing a 9 game season, and the one league game they did play vs Alvarez being treated as a non-League.
Will the reaming teams be given a forfeit win? I suspect that the either Alvarez or Carmel (potential 5th place teams) will be battling for an at large berth.

The CCS has recognized these games as forfeits and as a win as part of a 10 game schedule for the opponent. There have been other forfeits that I am aware of this year. St. Francis of Watsonville forfeited a game to Watsonville, Woodside had an in game forfeit to Seaside adn the forfeited their next game to Burlingame. These teams should list the game as a win in their season ending report to CCS for seeding.
There have been cases in the past where games were cancelled (air quality due to fires recently in past years. Where those games were not rescheduled they were not counted as either a win or a loss and teams had a nine game schedule.
When it comes to state bowl games how is it determined which bowl games teams are put into? What does the divisions and whether they are A or AA mean? Is it based on a combination of CBED and Calpreps ranking?
It looked like the Calpreps rankings made a huge impact on the placement last year but that's only at a glance. With the playoff changes in the North this year we won't send any section losers to NorCal games....so it roughly bumps everyone up a level if Liberty(Brentwood) loses to DLS and doesn't get a D1AA bid.
Open-DLS
D1AA-Central (Fresno) vs. Folsom/VC/Serra
D1A-Folsom/VC/Serra vs. SJS D2
D2AA-CCS D2 vs. CS D2???
or some version of that. If the VC Serra section winner is higher rated than
Folsom, we could see a Central vs. VC/Serra and drop Folsom to D1A. Now if that happens will they play the SJS D1 winner Folsom vs. SJS D2 winner? If that SJS D2 winner is in fact higher rated on Calpreps than any other remaining team? Mac is rated very high right now on Calpreps...Do they get bumped up or does their enrollment play a factor?

D1AA-Central (Fresno) vs. Folsom/VC/Serra

While teams like Liberty & Pitt won’t get an invite this year (or ever again) unless they beat DLS, the NCS did add a new division 7 and really cut down on the number of teams in D1 (where DLS lives).
Thus, the NCS has in effect beefed up all the lower divisions so they should be sending quality reps in the lower divisions. For example:
D2: CVC/Campo
D3: Las Lomas/Rancho Cotate
D4: Cardinal Newman/Marin Catholic
It's done by a vote by the commissioners. They take both Cal-Hi and Calpreps rankings/ratings into consideration, but it's ultimately up to a vote.
Yes, the NCS truly has stacked its lower divisions. They've claimed "competitive equity", but you can't tell me that Marin Catholic and Cardinal Newman aren't better than the majority of D-II, D-III, or even possibly D-I (this year) teams. It's a joke, particularly in comparison to what the CCS has done to revamp its divisions.
Week 7 features a half dozen games that will greatly impact the play-off field, seeding and league championships.
The WCAL features two intriguing games. Bellarmine traveling to Riordan to play at Jefferson has the potential to be a virtual play-in game. The winner will still need to navigate winless Sacred Heart Cathedral, but will have a big leg up on finishing 6th in the league. With all the bonus points afforded WCAL teams it is a lock that the WCAL will place the maximum of 6 teams in the CCS play-offs. Calpreps favors Riordan by 5.
The other interesting WCAL game has St. Francis travels to SI for a Saturday game. The results of these two teams and Mitty will likely determine which two of these three teams will play in the Division I play-offs. It is possible all three could be in, but more likely that the league's fifth place team will drop to Division 2 (which may be preferred). Calpreps projects SI by 4 points. With no other A league game projected to be closer than 14 points, the remaining big matches are in B and C Leagues.
Undefeated Branham and Willow Glen face-off as the two highest ranked teams in the Santa Teresa division. This league is competitive and both teams still must face Overfelt, but the winner will have a leg up on the league championship and at least one of the two automatic play-off spots. Calpreps favors Branham by 10
In the Mission League an undefeated Seaside and Monterey play a rivalry game. Monterey suffered a one point lost to Monte Vista Christian last week and Seaside is the top rated team in the league, but this is the toughest opponent they face to date. Seaside is favored by 5. With three teams making the play-offs from this league, both of these teams will be favored to get an automatic spot regardless of the outcome.
In the Cypress Gonzales plays Soquel. Soquel lost by 3 to NMC last week and Gonzales is still undefeated in league with NMC ahead. Both teams need a win to well positioned for either a league championship or an at-large berth. Soquel is a 10 point favorite which seems like a lot.
The two highest ranked teams in the PAL lake face off as Mills plays Jefferson. Calpreps has Mills favored by one point. It is highly likely that only one team from this league will make the play-offs.
