Here is our latest look at the leaderboard. Everyone on this list will soon receive an e-mail from me instructing you to submit your picks for this weekend’s CIF state championship game. I’ll be asking you to e-mail me your picks, that way they will stay anonymous from the other selectors. I’ll be setting a deadline of 8 p.m. on Thursday, that way I’ll have time to compile on the picks and then post them on the blog so they will be public before the games start. (I’ll be traveling down to Bakersfield all of Friday morning, so that’s why I need the picks on Thursday night). Each state championship game will be worth 10 points.
