Top 25 CIF Southern Section High School Football Rankings, Sept. 20

The Week 4 slate delivered after some heavyweight tilts on Friday night, including Bishop Gorman-Mater Dei, JSerra-Bishop Amat, and Sierra Canyon-Orange Lutheran.

Chalk won out in most of the matchups ... which means there wasn't too much movement in this week's rankings, and don't expect much next week as most teams take their bye week ahead of league play which starts for most in October.

Here are the latest CIF Southern Section Top 25 football rankings.
