so cal cif

I didnt think rankings really came into play other than league standings. But a 1 seed should get the WQC winners.
I believe it is common knowledge that Perez at Santiago is firmly entrenched in CIF's hiney.

You answered your own question. Yes it is common knowledge. I'm curious to hear what CIF says is the explanation for this.

In the past they have always used the League standings along with the coaches rankings for the top 4 seeds. Most of the time the top 4 teams are seeded (which they did this year too) and have a play in game vs a 4th seed or At Lrg seed. (which they did not do this year).

Big picture is that 90% of the teams in CIF SS Playoffs are very good and there are NUMEROUS teams that can win it all.

I believe it is common knowledge that Perez at Santiago is firmly entrenched in CIF's hiney.

Where else would that big pile be?

In Div 1 how does a #2 Santiago get a wild card over the league winner King??

Apparently CIF doesn't actually place teams by any ranking system
Last Coaches Poll:
1. Esperanza (1st in Century) - NO Play in Game - OK b/c Rosary last auto-berth/Trinity.
2. Marina (1st in Sunset) - Play in Game
3. Mater Dei (1st in Trinity) - Play in Game
4. Pacifica/Garden Grove (1st in Empire) - NO Play in Game - Not OK, ElMo not last auto-berth/Century.

5. Santiago/Corona (2nd in Big VIII) - Play in Game - Not OK.
6. Yorba Linda (2nd in Empire) - Play in Game - Not OK.
7. Camarillo (2nd in Pacific View) - NO Play in Game
8. Norco (3rd in Big VIII) - NO Play in Game
9. ML King (1st in Big VIII) - NO Play in Game - OK, LosAl last auto-berth/Sunset.
10. Los Osos (1st in Baseline) - Play in Game

I think you're all placing too much emphasis on whether it's a WC winner or not because the Wild Card round consists of the at-large teams and some of the teams that got the last auto-berth from their league. The #1 teams from the 10 leagues should be playing either a WC winner or a team with the last auto-berth from their league. I agree that #2 teams should NOT be playing WC winners or teams with the last-auto-berth from their league.

I'm curious why 2 teams with auto-berths from the Inland Valley League are playing in the WC round.

Nice to see some actually care about high school ball.

Not sure if we care or just become more confused by it each week.
