The first third of the high school basketball season is over. As holiday tournaments conclude and the countdown to 2026 begins, teams are turning their attention away from nonleague play and into league competition where the heart of the season resides.

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 is now live as of December 29.

The Top 100 teams in the computer rankings can be seen below by simply scrolling, but if you want to see the full interactive rankings page with team records and week-to-week movement, CLICK HERE.
