: : : : : Where can I find the current CIF SS Top 10 Rankings for 1, D2, D3, D4 and D5
: : : : There are no divisions this year. Seeding will be pretty fun once regular season is done.
: : : Wow. that is nonsense. CIF will be able to pick and choose schools they favor. Politics at its worst.
: CIF should check on the transfers and put those teams in D1 or D2. Should not allowed teams with more than 2 transfers play in D4 and D5
: : Here is something to give an idea of what the playoffs will be, although this differs from what CIF will use (Colley and Peter Wolfe’s computer rankings will also be used to seed teams)
: : Excuse the advertisements, best viewed on desktop:

: : The teams will be ranked 1-8 in Open, then every group of 32 teams below that (who qualified through playoffs/at-larges) will fill out the next 9 divisions. So 296 teams at most, but the at-large berths get tricky, just ask Girls’ Volleyball coaches. It may be beneficial to lose intentionally in the last week, more on that later
In football you hear about tanking a game more I think because there are so few games and only 16 team divisions. But for basketball with the Margin of Victory and strength of schedule factors. If you lost to a really bad team it wouldnt count and if you lost to a team you might lose to anyways then the chances it drops you 32 spots to the next lower division are slim. And again because teams are ranked in order the next division of 32 teams are not much worse. You'd have to try and drop like 3 or 4 divisions to see a difference. At that point you probably dont think much of your team anyways if you are trying to lose 7/8 games to have a better chance to "win" in playoffs.
