The Open Division, which is comprised of just eight teams, will start on November 15. Narbonne is the No. 1 seed in the Open and is likely to run into a Marine League team eventually.

Here are the final, regular-season City Section Top 10 rankings for 2024.

FINAL TOP 10 CITY SECTION RANKINGS

(Rank, school, quick note, next opponent, previous rank)

1. Narbonne (8-2)

Narbonne will finally play football on November 15 in the first round of the Open Division playoffs against Dorsey after a 49-day layoff.

2. Carson (6-3)

The Colts earn their way into the Open Division as the second-place finisher in the Marine League. Carson is the No. 2 seed in the Open and will take on Garfield.

3. Birmingham (5-4)

The Patriots are right on schedule, winning the West Valley League and now earning a home game against Gardena in the Open Division on Nov. 15. Birmingham is the four-time defending champion.

4. San Pedro (7-3)

San Pedro will have a rematch with Banning in the No. 3 vs. No. 6 matchup in the Open Division. Pirates won that matchup 34-33.

5. Gardena (7-2)

The Panthers will lean on running back Xavier Grant in the postseason.

6. Banning (4-6)

The Pilots went winless in the Marine League, but probably feel like they have a second chance at life in the postseason. This team is still very dangerous.

7. Garfield (7-3)

Despite falling to Legacy in the season finale, the Bulldogs did enough to earn a playoff berth in the Open Division; a No. 7 seed.

8. Dorsey (7-3)

The Dons win the Coliseum League and earn the program's first-ever berth to the Open Division.

9. Kennedy (8-2)

The Cougars will be a team to be in the Division I playoffs after winning the Valley Mission League in undefeated fashion.

10. Venice (6-4)

The Gondoliers won the Western League, going 5-0. Most didn't see that coming. Now, they set their eyes on the Division I championship.
