Midway through January and league placement is starting to take shape, but nothing is final. In fact, the final three weeks of the regular season will see the most movement due to big-time head-to-head matchups within league play.

In the opening weeks of 2026, we've seen stunning results and tight finishes in some of the top leagues in the CIF Southern Section, including the Mission, Trinity, Marmonte and Baseline Leagues.

As teams are vying for league placement, which will determine their playoff eligibility, working in the background is CIF's 'competitive equity' model that uses computer rankings to determine where teams should fall come playoff time. The computer will determine which division and where within that division a team should be placed based on the results from the current year.

That said, High School On SI provides the computer rankings that the CIF Southern Section will use to create its playoff divisions in February. The first edition of those rankings was released on December 29.
