I don't know about all that.

If Texas and Georgia can come up with a reasonable looking and solid Preseason Top 25 then California should be able to.

The problem with California is 10 or 11 teams are 250 miles ahead of everybody else in the state.

If the #15 Preseason CA team gets blown out OOS nobody even thinks twice about it.

If the number #15 Preseason team in Georgia or Texas, or even Louisiana gets blown up OOS it's a big f****** deal!

MaxPreps having a team like Oak Ridge, CA a Top 100 team nationally last year was a joke.
They're no better than Jesuit (NOLA)... .... I can throw out the well coached team card too.

No state Has a Reasonable looking Top 25 because no one knows who the 25 best teams in any state are.... We can all see that because there are so many polls now and they mostly all disagree with each other....

So is Oak Ridge your new Bixby now?.... Just because Max Preps puts them in their top 100 you are butt hurt?.... 🤣🤣

Then who?

Los Alamitos?
San Clemente?
Oak Ridge?
Hart?
San Juan Hills?
Inglewood?

Central East?

The teams i mentioned above, are programs that have consistently maintained that level.  You don't have to guess whether they'll be a Top 25 team.

Hart?.... Bakersfield?.... What decade are you in?.... 🤣
