If I had to pick a team that I believe will still be standing in three weeks, it has to be Seaside, who is 10-0 and the top seed in Division IV.
But I also like Monterey's bracket in Division III and Salinas' chances of playing for a CCS Division I title for the first time since 2001.
I feel Carmel got a difficult draw in Soquel in the first round, a team that beat them 48-20 earlier this year.
St. Ignatius is a strong opponent for Palma in the Open Division. Then again, show me a weak link in the Open Division?
Alisal and San Benito is intriguing, maybe the best matchup in the first round in Division I.
Pacific Grove and Soledad aren't oblivious to the fact that being a lower seed means a difficult path.

Open- Palma has a tough road. If they defeat SI, they have a shot, but a tough opponent. D2- will ve Saint Faranci -MV, DIII - Monterey has little chance against Valley Christian- they are a very good team. D4- Seaside has a good shot- maybe best, but Sacread Heart Prep and menlo are experienced in these playoffs and not pushovers- Seaside should win though. D- salinas actually has a good shot to make finals...Milpitas is the type of team that can give Salinas fits though. Salinas has a shot if they play good defense.
