California High School Football Top 25 State Rankings - Oct. 21, 2025

Sac-Joaquin Section power Manteca moves into the Power 25 rankings in the Golden State

Manteca's Quinn Martinez (4) and Micah Cardoza (16) are all fired up during a big 15-14 win at North Coast Section power Marin Catholic on Sept. 13. Manteca (8-0) moved into the High School On SI Top 25 California football rankings this week. / Charles Chang SBLiv

Very little movement this week in the rankings from week 8 in most of the state. We moved out Orange Lutheran after two forfeit losses knocked the Lancers to 2-6 on the season.

The new team in the rankings is Sac-Joaquin Section power Manteca, which has outscored opponenets 377-93.

The only other significant move was replacing Santa Margarita at No. 4 with previous No. 2 Mission Viejo. All these teams, including No. 1 St. John Bosco, No. 2 Sierra Canyon and No. 3 Corona Centennial will work it all out in the CIF Southern Section Open Division playoffs in a couple of weeks.

And wouldn't it be something, but surely not inconceivable, to have No. 7 Mater Dei rise up and beat all in the playoffs.
