SoCal Baseball — Playoff Projections
Snapshot from 2026-05-05 · 457 teams
Where each Southern Section baseball team is projected to play in the postseason, based on the official CIF-SS power-index ranking. Updated weekly on Tuesday from the published rankings PDF.
Projections view applied. Top-16 by overall ranking go to D1 automatically. Below that, a team is an auto-qualifier if it finished high enough in its league: 4-team league → top 2, 5–6 team → top 3, 7–8 team → top 4, 9+ team → top 5. Remaining auto-qualifiers are averaged across Divisions 2–9 (each division begins where the next auto-qualifier begins, in rank order). A team that misses its auto-qualifier cutoff but finishes overall at .500 or better is an "At Large" pick. Each division accepts up to 3 At Large teams; excess at-large picks are dropped from the bracket entirely.
League data scraped from MaxPreps for 426 of 457 teams. 176 teams removed by current rules. 22 At Large picks (sub-3rd but .500+, capped at 3 per division). 31 Unverified pending league-data backfill.
