Trying to Figure Out the Maxpreps Rankings

[CaliforniaFan24]

I see in the latest Cal Preps ranking that they have moved Cathedral Catholic up 6 spots to #8 in the state of California, leaping over #10 Saint Francis and #11 De La Salle. This is the same Cathedral Ctholic that lost to Centennial Corona 54-17 and to De La salle 49-21. So how can they rank ahead of Saint Francis and DLS? Or for that matter, how is 6-5 Santa Margarita at #9 and 9-4 Orange Lutheran at #7 stay ahead of Saint Francis and DLS. Could it be because they are in the same league as Mater Dei, SJB, and Servite? I mean, Orange Lutheran did give up 160 points to those three teams when they played this year.

It seems too much credence given to all the teams in the Southern Section besides the Big Three.

Ranking mean nothing unless you’re looking for moral victories or something. Folsom fan lives and dies by rankings. Don’t be Folsom fan. ✌️
