SBLive's North Coast Section Fab 15 football rankings: Marin Catholic, El Cerrito, Campolindo all improve to 7-0

No. 3, 4 and 5 teams continue to roll, including Campolindo's stirring 27-24 victory over No. 8 Acalanes

With three weeks left, there are only three teams left with perfect records. 

Third-ranked Marin Catholic-Kentfield and No. 4 El Cerrito each won handily against over-matched opponents while No. 5 Campolindo needed four total touchdowns from Dashiel Weaver to knock off eighth-ranked Acalanes 27-24 in The Game of the Week. 

All three teams are 7-0 and each could very easily end up 10-0 heading into the North Coast Section playoffs. 

Top ranked teams Pittsburg and De La Salle should roll to easy wins Friday. 

The Game of the Week this week could be in the North Bay where No. 15 Cardinal Newman-Santa Rosa hosts No. 11 Rancho Cotate-Rohnert Park, which last week was upset by Windsor. 

Windsor debuts at No. 10.
