CIF-SS Central rankings straightening out
Several area high school football teams questionably ranked (or not ranked at all) in the pre-season CIF-SS Central Division took fairly drastic turns in the right direction after Week 0.
- Upland moved from 3rd to the top spot thanks to a 42-7 win over then No. 2 Colony.
- Los Osos jumped from 7th to 3rd after a 24-20 win over Bishop Amat.
- Ayala went from unranked to 6th after a 33-12 win over Duarte that was called after three quarters due to rolling blackouts.
