Final NorCal Match-up projections Calpreps vs CalHi

[PALbooster]

For the NorCal regional play this year, if all section winners opt to play there will be 26 Nor Cal section winners and two teams added from the Central Section. Two teams will receive a bye (one is the Open designee) to the State Championship bowl games. Based on their current CalPrep rankings this is the order. The six projected Central Section winners are in bold.

I have projected the team with the higher CalPrep ranking to win their section championship next week. The match-ups will be based on which two teams the CIF elects to slot into northern CA and for any minor tweaks they may make in the rankings for better geographical alignment to reduce travel.

1. St Francis 65.1 (De La Salle can't pass them in the rankings if St. Francis wins next week)
2. De La Salle 64.9
3. Central 54.0
4. Rocklin 53.1
5. Central Catholic 49.2
6. Clayton Valley 42.6
7. Oakdale 40.7
8. Bullard 37.0
9. Menlo 33.4
10. Foothill 31.7
11. Merced 29.5

Nice work...
CIF used have a guideline of choosing the CS section teams that were geographically closer to the NorCal region. However, that guideline has not been followed in every case as evidenced by the 2019 regional bowl selections. I wonder if that rule is still in place for 2021?

There were week 14 play-ins for teams that were done with their sectional season for odd teams out previous years. It seems the CIF have expanded the bowl divisions this year. Will there be any playin games this year for odd teams out?

The CIF had avoided same section matches in most bracket alignments in past years where possible and prudent. If this rule of thumb pairing happens again this year, there will be some changes - such as a SJS Rocklin vs NCS DLS pairing and SJS MCC vs CS Central pairing.

 

[FBAddict]

hmm... Never noticed this guideline before... From the Regional FB Handbook:

"In order to balance the number of teams from the north and the south, teams from the south will be
slotted in the north once all of the bowl games participants have been determined. These teams will be selected from the Central Section and/or Southern Section."

A Southern Section team could possibly be selected to play as a NorCal team to achieve balance. Maybe this criterion was there in past years, but this is the first time I have seen it.

But who plays who in Nor Cal games? Oakdale played CVC 2 times. And Sutter once.

 

[Cal 14]

But who plays who in Nor Cal games? Oakdale played CVC 2 times. And Sutter once.

The divisions go as follows:

Open - Top teams selected from NorCal and SoCal, meet in SoCal, last game on Saturday, Dec 11th

D-1AA - Next best two teams from each region to meet in a regional bowl game; winners of regional games meet in SoCal, second game on Friday, Dec 10th
D-1A - Next best two...; winners meet in SoCal, second game on Saturday
D-2AA - Next best two...; winners meet in SoCal, first game on Friday
D-2A - Next best two...; winners meet in SoCal, first game on Saturday

All of these games to be played at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo. If you decide to go, get there early as parking is kind of crappy. I suggest you sneak in snacks, too, as there were no permanent food locations when I went there earlier this year.

D-3AA - Next best two...; winners meet at NorCal winner's site, Saturday, Dec 11th
D-3A - Next best two...; winners meet at NorCal winner's site, Saturday, Dec 11th

... etc. through to either D-6A or D-7AA, all games at NorCal winner's site.

In some cases, particularly for the very small NS teams, there could be some opting out, which may impact the bottom few divisions or whether a 7AA even exists.

The Central Section traditionally has been split between the new regions, with their D-I and D-II winners going to NorCal. I don't know that geography really plays any role in that, but they have used the CS to balance out division in terms of strength.

I think your rankings demonstrates the validity behind having the NCS second best NCS team have the opportunity to be in the NorCal regionals. Northern California just needs to get rid of the automatic bids. If it did, not only would Clayton or Pittsburg not be playing in NorCals, bu based on your rankings DLS or St. Francis would not be going to State because they would be playing each other in Norcals.

So Pittsburg is not the only “loser” advancing. Add Clayton to that list, as well whom ever is the 1st or 2nd ranked team in NorCal. Who’s to say DLS wouldn’t beat St. Francis in a rematch. Kind of a ramble post. Sorry everyone. Just enjoy the imperfect NorCal playoffs for what it is.

The Central Section was thrown for a loop last weekend when top D-I top seed, Buchanan, was upset by Bakersfield Liberty. That means that Central is the highest remaining seed, but it also means that their projected win may not boost them as much as a projected win by Rocklin over Folsom. Either way, I would strongly suggest that Rocklin gets selected to the D-1AA game opposite DLS (assuming SF wins the CCS D-I title) due to their unbeaten record.

I think that the SJS voter will push hard for this anyway to avoid any possibility of their top two division winners from facing off in a regional game. The SS pushed this concept through in the last set of playoffs, so I see every other section following suit for now on.

If Folsom wins the SJS D-I title, then I think Central will go to D-1AA and the Bulldogs will go to D-1A. This, again, will likely prompt the SJS voter to push hard for a Central Catholic to move down to D-2AA, which would push the NCS D-I winner up to 1A. Of course, this could prompt a fight with the NCS voter if Pitt takes that D-I title, as to want to avoid a rematch with Folsom.

A lot of crazy things can happen after this week.

To the left are the most recent CalPrep rankings to the right are the CalHi Sports projections. Congratulations to De la Salle, University Prep of Redding, Fall River, Balboa (SF)and Le Grand who have already won their section tittles. 7 section tittles on the line in NorCal tonight (and all six in the Central Section) with 14 NorCal section championship games on Saturday.

While Calpreps uses a computer ranking formula, Cal Hi is done off the eye ball test from Mark Tennis and a few contributors. Historically CalHi has given a lot of weight to traditional legacy programs. Calhi has McLymonds up at 7 (CalPreps 13) and Vanden at 8 (Calpreps 11). For what it's worth inter earlier projects they had Serra in the open beating St. Francis twice.

[THEOC89]

So do they just roll a die to pick who has to play Mater Dei at this point?

DLS will now be the #1 Team In Nor Cal, They will Be in The Open….

Next will be Serra vs Folsom for D1AA…

Next will be PITT vs Fresno Area Team for D1A….

Serra’s Blowout Loss to SF and their Weak Schedule takes them out of the Open… DLS has Wins over SJS Champ, SD Open Champ and NCS D1 Champ, All by 3 TD’s And a 3 point loss to SF in the final seconds…. There is no other Choice for The Open….

Folsom should really be in D1A but the CIF doesn’t like RE-Matches so they will Bump Folsom up to D1AA which will actually be a great Matchup with Serra…..

 

[pastyfastquick3]

Serra to the OPEN.

DLS has two losses and lost to the team that Serra just beat. Doesn't matter that Serra lost to SF earlier in the season. Teams get better and progress, as shown by Folsom in a domination of Rocklin.

Serra to the OPEN.

DLS to 1AA where they belong this year.

Period.

So based on your Logic DLS would be in The Open because They would Beat SF in a RE-Match because “Teams Get Better and Progress”…. 🤣

The yowling is an attempt to sway anyone listening to believe Folsom should be in the lower class D1-A. It has less than zero to do with Serra's merit for Open. What people should be wondering is why an ardent Folsom fan would be afraid of a Serra / Folsom matchup in D1-AA?

 

[pastyfastquick3]

No one is afraid of anything. Folsom would love to play Serra.

Everyone said Folsom would get smoked last night. They beat down Rocklin as bad as I've EVER seen a team get beaten physically last night. It was an amazing display of shock and awe.

Rocklin's whipping by Folsom was worse last night. They got choked out and scored THREE points the entire game.

Serra to the OPEN

DLS to 1 AA

 

[dcpanda]

Especially without Mahasin, Serra is better suited for 1-AA. They lost their best player mid-season.

We've heard a lot over the years about how Folsom would love to play DLS and we know how that's turned out.

[Truthhertz]

To be frank here SF has a better resume than Serra for the open even thought they lost last night. That said I know they have no chance in going but their resume is better. DLS deserves the open bid and is probably the only team that will even compete through the full 4 quarter regardless of score. I do hope however they choose Serra for the open and DLS gets paired with Folsom in regional game, that would be poetic justice for creating this mess to begin with.

Better yet, I hope they pick De La Salle for the regional game, take one look at Folsom, say “Bitch, for what?!” And send Folsom down to the 1-AA game with Central Catholic. Let Liberty come up and play De La instead lol.

I bet Central Catholic would love to have a shot at this year's Folsom. Has there ever been Bowl game playoff played by two teams from the same section?

 

[Streak One]

I bet Central Catholic would love to have a shot at this year's Folsom. Has there ever been Bowl game playoff played by two teams from the same section?

I don't think that has happened at least up North. Would be great to see Central play a team like Pittsburg. This is one of the Raiders' best teams in the bowl era IMO.

 

[Cal 14]

I bet Central Catholic would love to have a shot at this year's Folsom. Has there ever been Bowl game playoff played by two teams from the same section?

The CIF voters have generally avoided that, but there have been a number of games like that in the south (mostly SS teams). The SS really seemed to have pushed against it last time around and I assume they would again this year.

Either way, I don’t think Central Catholic gets to D-1A. I think they’ll be D-2AA. I think Pitt and Liberty go above CC to D-1A. Folsom should be D-1AA.

 

[Cal 14]

The Cal-Hi prediction is relatively sound.

Based on the published criteria, there are arguments for both Serra and DLS. Head-to-head favors neither; W-L record favors Serra; SoS favors DLS, common opponent leans toward Serra, rankings lean toward DLS (we don’t entirely know what Cal-Hi will do or whether they’ll go with the CIF vote). I’ll stick with my guess from a few weeks ago and say they’ll choose DLS for the Open.

I don’t agree with putting Vanden over Manteca. The SJS will likely want to promote their D-III over D-IV and Manteca is rated higher on Calpreps.

The NCS is a mess with their retained latching to enrollment-based division. Marin Catholic would not be in D-IV or D-IV equivalent in any other section.

 

[cougar15]

The NCS is a mess with their retained latching to enrollment-based division. Marin Catholic would not be in D-IV or D-IV equivalent in any other section.

The NCS's "antiquated" enrollment based divisions are 100x better thant the farce of the Central Section, where a school of 2,300, that went 2-8 during the regular season is the D5 section champion....but that's an argument for a different day.

The Central Section has entirely too many divisions and advances entirely too many teams to the playoffs. Same with the San Diego Section. If you have any sort of a pulse, you keep on playing beyond the regular season.

But, no, I would not say the NCS system is better than the CS.

I agree with you 100% on marin Catholic/C Newman being in at least 1 division too low.

But I’d rather not see 500 student public St Helena vs 1700 student Casa Grande or whatever in the D7 championship. It’s horrible for small/1 town schools which all sections up north other than CCS are full of.

NCS went to a competitive equity model in 2016 that modified their 5 enrollment based divisions. Then in 2019 the NCS changed to 7 enrollment based divisions, modified by competitive equity, while also adding an Open division, for a current total of 8 sections. The head scratcher was seeing Marin Catholic, a Division 2 team in 2018 who played in the section final, drop to Division 4 in 2019.

Campolindo, after winning three Division 3 section championships since 2011, was moved to Division 2 in 2016 and won their third Division 2 section championship last night. It is conceivable they may be moved to Division 1 next season. Last night's win over Foothill gave Campo their 10th victory of the season. This marks 10 consecutive seasons the Cougars have won a minimum of 10 games, not including the 2020 Covid season. More remarkably, after falling to 3-3 on the season, losing home games 49-0 to Aptos and 35-0 to Benicia, Campo has now won 7 consecutive games, five of these games as the underdog, per Calpreps; including all three playoff games.

In a 26 year career at Campolindo, Coach Macy certainly seems to have saved his best coaching effort for 2021.

I thought Pitt wasn’t bowl eligible because they lost to DLS. I know they went on to win NCS but I thought that’s as far as they could go. I definitely could be wrong but the reason Pitt was able to move on is because DLS is not in NCS and they still had to have an NCS champion. Does anybody have more information on if that’s true or not?
