Some familiar teams are missing from this week's MaxPreps California Regional Bowl Game matchups as playoff upsets have resulted in new teams making this week's list.
A pair of upsets in the Central Coast Section has resulted in Menlo-Atherton and Serra joining the matchups. Menlo-Atherton knocked off Bellarmine College Prep in the Central Section Open 1 while Serra upset top-seeded St. Francis.
In the Sac-Joaquin Section, Capital Christian topped Sonora, which had been the favorite in Division 5 all season long. Meanwhile Brookside Christian defeated Stone Ridge Christian in the Division VII championship game to become the first qualifier for the regional bowl games.
MaxPreps determines its regional matchup predictions based on the MaxPreps Computer Rankings presented by the Army National Guard. Care is also taken to avoid regional matchups between teams from the same section when possible. The team's record from this year and its current computer ranking are included in the regional matchups.
