CCS football playoffs: Matchups are set. What are the top storylines?

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 20:59:40 GMT

NEW CCS FORMAT: HOW OPEN/DIVISION I WORKSFor years, the Central Coast Section had an Open Division designated for its best teams. Then it had three Open Divisions, dividing its presumed 24 best teams into three divisions based on enrollment. Then it scrapped the Open Division when the section went to a competitive-equity model. Now, the Open Division is back. Sort of. Following the model that the neighboring North Coast Section has used for the past two seasons, the CCS is calling its top division Open/Division I. The NCS went to the model to create a lane for a Division I school to advance to a regional without having to beat De La Salle, something nobody from the NCS has done since 1991. The CCS has added it to allow a second team from its top division to play beyond the section playoffs. Here is how it works: The No. 1 seed plays the No. 8 seed and the No. 2 seed plays the No. 7 seed in the first round. The winners meet for the Open title in the second week of the playoffs. The O...
