This article, NorCal Football Rankings | Top 20, WEEK 12, was first published on SportStarsMag.com.
Week 11 Was The Final Calm As Just One Top 20 Team Lost, And The NorCal Football Rankings Go Unchanged As Playoffs Reach Full Tilt •
This week’s NorCal Football Rankings were either going to get a sizable shake or stand pat based on what happened in last week’s clash between No. 4 De Le Salle-Concord and No. 11 Clayton Valley-Concord. Had Clayton Valley won, the top half of the rankings would’ve definitely seen the blender.
But, as anybody who follows these rankings regularly knows, that’s not what happened. The Old De La Salle was back and rolled to a lopsided win. And if that’s going to be what we see of the Spartans through the rest of the NCS playoffs, then giving Clayton Valley a pass seemed fine for now. The Ugly Eagles should give themselves another chance to prove their upper-half-of-the-rankings pedigree by facing either No. 5 Pittsburg or De La Salle again in the NCS Division I final in two weeks.
Thus, since we decided not to move Clayton Valley, every team kept their spot for a week. No. 10 Salinas was another team we were watching closely last week, but the Cowboys looked to be back in top form by rolling Palma-Salinas
