Official 2001-02 CIF-SS Boys' Playoff
Division Alignments Released--(Nov. 27, 2001)

It's only taken since August, but the CIF-SS finally released the new divisional alignments for purposes of the Southern Section playoffs which will take place at the end of the regular season in February, 2002. Here are the official numbers for each division (click on the link for a list of schools in each division):

Division I AA
2066 and up
Division I-A
1700-2065
Division II AA and A
1501-1699
Division II-A
1351-1500
Division III-AA
1121-1350
Division III-A
816-1120
Division IV-AA
321-815
Division IV-A
191-320
Division V-AA
81-190
Division V-A
1-80

There have been some big movements of teams from their traditional division placements which will create some new rivalries, and no doubt will upset a few more traditionalists. 

Division I-AA now has Eisenhower and Long Beach Poly as the clearly emerging favorites this year.

Division I-A has  El Toro, Glendora, Loyola, and Mission Viejo as some of the stronger teams this year. 

In Division II, the most notable changes are the teams that are missing, as well as those new teams who have moved down from Division I:  

In II-AA, you'll find Claremont, Mater Dei and Villa Park

In II-A, gone are Artesia and Dominguez, and the strongest teams are now likely to be Redondo Union and Santa Margarita.

In Division III, there has also been a lot of movement, and the new alignments should silence the critics who say that Division III hasn't been truly competitive for the past 5 years or so: 

Division III-AA now has Dominguez, Artesia, and Ocean View, but doesn't have traditional D-III teams like Chaminade and Harvard-Westlake, both of which have been moved downward.

Division III-A  looks to be a battle between Bishop Montgomery, Compton Centennial and Muir.

In Division IV, there has also been quite a bit of movement both downward from III and upward from V. 

In Division IV-AA, you'll now find teams like Chaminade, Crossroads, Harvard-Westlake, St. Bernard, St. Paul and St. Monica as some of the stronger teams this year

In Division V-AA, some of the leading favorites will be teams such as  Calvary Chapel DowneyMontclair PrepSt. Anthony's, Western Christian, and Yeshiva.

In Division V-AA,  it should be Buckley, Hillcrest Christian GH, Ribet, Rolling Hills Prep, Pacific Hills, and Santa Clara as the top teams to beat.  

In Division V-A,  just one word:  Price.   There may be some others who will battle it out for second, like Tarbut v' Torah or  Stoneridge Prep, but we don't see anyone capable of knocking off the Knights.
