Many are saying the Middletown-Fort Bragg game was one of the best this year. The St. Mary's-Encinal game was another one that many enjoyed. Overall, Middletown has gone over the hump and will definitely crack the top four. St. Mary's, though they lost by a touchdown to Encinal, has proven they are among the elite in Div. IV. Ferndale continues to dominate other teams and Salesian is heading towards another Bay League title. St. Patrick-St. Vincent and Fort Bragg are still strong teams destined for the playoffs. If Cloverdale can beat St. Vincent the last week of the regular season, they will win the NCL I South title and lock up an automatic berth in the playoffs. Berean Christian, McKinleyville, and Justin Siena will fight for the last at-large spot.
What are your thoughts on the teams who are on the bubble to make the playoffs?

Pretty close...I do look at their power rankings, but these are the same rankings that predicted Fort Bragg would defeat Middletown and that Encinal would comfortably beat St. Mary's...
Calpreps uses a mathematical formula for their rankings and predictions. So I was just throwing out there what the computer had to say about the rankings with no human bias involved.
As for the games this past weekend. Calpreps predicted a close game with Fort Bragg beating Middletown by 3 points. In the end Middletown beat Fort Bragg in a close game, so like you said "pretty close". In the other game there was no way for Calpreps to forsee Encinal being flagged 22 times for over 200 yards.
This is a great site, keep up the good work.
Thanks...It's fun running the site.
