They have Mitty at 5. Pinewood at 14. Interesting read throughout. They did a good job I think.

NorCal Open Division currently, IF using NorCal Preps Rankings (1/26/2025) and adding Clovis West with an 8 team division:

1. Mitty
2. Clovis West
3. Acalanes
4. Folsom
5. Pinewood
6. San Ramon Valley
7. Carondelet
8. Priory

Others:
9. Riordan
10. McClatchy (lost to Riordan)

If Clovis West comes up, you have to also think about plain Clovis who has beaten both Priory and SRV and is ranked ahead of both and ahead of Carondelet according to MaxPreps.

I think it's very unlikely the Open is eight. Assuming both SoCal and NorCal have the same number of Open teams, which makes sense, I think they'll stay at six. Why put teams in the Open that have no chance, especially down South?

The Clovis question is interesting. Clovis got blasted by Clovis West, losing by 40+, and then Pinewood loses to Clovis West by four. My guess is Clovis is not in the NorCal Open, and likely not in either Open. But, as many have pointed out over the years, I have been wrong before.

It seems (mostly likely to me) that it will be 6 and it will break down as follows:

CCS Open 1 & 2
NCS Open 1 & 2
SJS D1 winner
Clovis West
