MaxPreps California Bowl Game Rankings

Just two weeks remain in the section playoffs for most playoff brackets throughout the state, so MaxPreps is taking this opportunity to rank every single eligible team for the California Bowl Rankings.

All 176 teams have been ranked by the MaxPreps Computer Rankings, 106 in the South and 70 in the North. As the playoffs progress, we will eliminate the teams from the rankings that are knocked out of the playoffs.

Based on the MaxPreps Computer Rankings, these bowl rankings will continue each week until all section playoffs have ended. Click here to read about how the computer rankings work.
