There's a new No. 1 in the SoCal Division I bowl ratings after Mater Dei wins over Santa Margarita.
There's only one major change this week in the California Bowl Rankings, with a new No. 1 team in South Division I.
Mater Dei (Santa Ana) knocked off Santa Margarita (Rancho Santa Margarita) last week, which allowed Narbonne (Harbor City) to move into the No. 1 spot. Mater Dei also moved from No. 7 to No. 2 while Santa Margarita dropped to No. 6.
