Key: NCS = North Coast Section, NS = Northern Section, SJS = Sac-Joaquin Section, LAS = Los Angeles City Section, CS = Central Section, CCS = Central Coast Section, SDS = San Diego Section, OS = Oakland Section, SF = San Francisco Section, SS = Southern Section.
Notes: Teams in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division I-VI are divided into six groups. The 32 largest are Division I, the second 32 largest are Division II and the third 32 largest are Division III. The next 16 largest are Division IV and so on. This might not necessarily be how the teams qualify for the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs, but for the purposes of these rankings the SJS teams are placed in these artificial groupings.
For the Central Coast Section team rankings, teams in the Central Coast Section A Leagues are divided by MaxPreps into three equal groups for the three Open Division section championship games. This is not necessarily how the CCS will select teams for their Open Division playoff format. The runner-up teams are considered to be the No. 2 ranked team in each Open Division group.
The top eight ranked teams in the San Diego Section are considered for the Open Division and the No. 9 ranked team is considered the top team in Division I for the purposes of these rankings.
