Strictly off of these rankings. If open kicked off today, these would be some great games. So many matchups would have contrasting styles. I can't see bellarmine or CVC not getting in. This will be a fun playoff season.

Heard Branson is pretty damn good this year, anyone got any thoughts on that?

 

[Streak One]

They are real solid (21-3). Two wins over Stuart Hall, 11-1 in league. Losses to Oakland, Lick-Wilmerding (both in overtime) and a 5 point loss to Drake

I'm surprised no one is talking about Pleasent Valley of Chico. They have played some tough teams during non league play and return most of their guys from last year. Don' be surprised if the go very deep in Norcal (d3) ?? Very dangerous team.

They are not flashy but they are well-coached and compete really hard.

 

[Streak One]

Pleasant Valley is real solid. Likely headed for D1, which will be a tough road for them

Like Kevin Kremer

I know it's all fun and games and generates good debate and conversation.... but these rankings are a bit ridiculous. lol College park and campo in the top 20!? LOL

I know everything is different this year, but why would a team that has not won a D3 nor cal playoff game in its past get bumped to D-1? Don't you have to at least win in your own division first before getting bumped up?

 

[Streak One]

All of that stuff is out the window. If the CIF goes by the rules they have listed, it is strictly based on this year's resume.
