The Times' high school football rankings by Ben Bolch:
| Rk. | Team (Rec., Sec.-Div.) | Comment (Last week's ranking) |
| 1 | CRENSHAW (9-0, City-Division I) | Cougars clear their schedule for Dec. 19 so they can go bowling. (1) |
| 2 | EDISON (9-0, SS-Pac 5) | Charge! If these guys win Pac-5 Division, it will be tough to keep them out of top spot. (3) |
| 3 | OAKS CHRISTIAN (9-0, SS-Northwest) | The Sky(line) is falling! Lions' strength of schedule doesn't measure up. (2) |
| 4 | SERVITE (8-1, SS-Pac-5) | Here's hoping Friars and Edison are on opposite sides of playoff bracket so they can have a rematch at Angel Stadium. (5) |
| 5 | LAKEWOOD (8-1, SS-Pac-5) | Sorry, but who have Lancers beaten again? Some team named Poly? (4) |
| 6 | MISSION VIEJO (9-0, SS-Pac 5) | San Clemente's film review of loss to Diablos is titled "Forgetting Jake Marshall." (7) |
| 7 | GARDENA SERRA (9-0, SS-Northwest) | Winner of game against unbeaten Cathedral will be dubbed The Little School That Could. (6) |
| 8 | MOORPARK (9-0, SS-Northern) | Winning Marmonte League this year sort of like winning Atlantic Coast Conference before Florida State arrived. (8) |
| 9 | REDLANDS EAST VALLEY (9-0, SS-Inland) | Wildcats will either get key to city this week or be asked to vacate premises immediately. (9) |
| 10 | ST. BONAVENTURE (8-1, SS-Northern) | Seraphs consider Dos Pueblos the most interesting team on their schedule. (11) |
| 11 | S.O. NOTRE DAME (8-1, SS-Pac 5) | If Knights need another late field goal, Placekicker High has to like its chances. (12) |
| 12 | VALENCIA (9-0, SS-Northern) | Winning Northern Division would feel like scaling a mountain after a Foothill (League). (14) |
| 13 | NORCO (8-1, SS-Inland) | What a weekend for Gerharts: dad Todd defeats Corona Centennial, son Toby beats Oregon. (16) |
| 14 | BISHOP AMAT (8-1, SS-Pac 5) | It's going to take a Caltech statistics professor to assess Lancers' odds of making playoffs. (10) |
| 15 | RANCHO CUCAMONGA (8-1, SS-Central) | Etiwanda game could provide Cougars with a good Baseline for how they'll do in playoffs. (17) |
| 16 | FOUNTAIN VALLEY (8-1, SS-Pac-5) | It was more like "Battered for the Bell" this time around. (15) |
| 17 | CARSON (7-2, City-Division I) | San Pedro is also 7-2, but its strength of schedule isn't even in the same ZIP Code as Colts'. (18) |
| 18 | CORONA CENTENNIAL (7-2, SS-Inland) | Who expected the quarterback to run the ball on key play when Norco tailbacks had piled up 370 yards? (13) |
| 19 | VISTA MURRIETA (9-0, SS-Inland) | Had Great Oak completed comeback to hand Broncos their first loss, it would have been Misty Murrieta. (19) |
| 20 | LOS ALAMITOS (7-2, SS-Pac 5) | What's Cooking at quarterback these days? Plenty of incompletions. (20) |
| 21 | DANA HILLS (8-1, SS-Pac-5) | "Dolphin Vision" broadcast team -- three cameramen, four announcers -- propping up California economy. (21) |
| 22 | RANCHO VERDE (9-0, SS-Inland) | Paging re-leaguing committee: Mustangs' average margin of victory in Inland Valley League is 49 points. (22) |
| 23 | WESTLAKE (9-0, SS-Northern) | Oaks Christian more intrigued by crosstown rival's game against Moorpark than its snooze fest against Nordhoff. (23) |
| 24 | CHARTER OAK (8-1, SS-Southeast) | If Chargers lose to Los Altos, then they really will be off one week after being idle. (24) |
| 25 | VENICE (8-1, City-Division I) | Overheard in the handshake line after victory over Westchester: "Wait 'till basketball season." (25) |
