Football rankings

1. Salinas: Hopefully the week off did not put some rust on this fine-tuned machine.
2. San Benito: Could be headed for a third straight trip to the Division I finals.
3. Palma: Impressive bounce-back win last week to gather a share of the Gabilan Division title.
4. Monterey: Losing only to two co-champions didn't warrant a home playoff game?
5. Alvarez: I see a rematch with San Benito looming in two weeks.
6. Pacific Grove: Rivalry games often leave a team flat the following week.
7. Carmel: Three losses to three league champions.
8. Christopher: Its only setback all year came in Week 3 to Carmel.
9. Monte Vista: Do not overlook the Mustangs in the Division IV playoffs.
10. Soledad: Was one point shy of earning a spot in the playoffs.
 On the bubble: Gilroy.
