2015: Week 12, Grizzlies are No. 1 and No. 3

Undefeated Mission Hills was an almost wire-to-wire, regular-season winner in the Union-Tribune writers’ poll, but the Grizzlies are seeded only third behind Helix and St. Augustine in the Open Division of the San Diego Section playoffs, which begin this week.
 
Power ratings, introduced three years ago,  base a team’s strength on a number of factors,  most visible of which is strength of schedule.
 
Mission Hills and other teams in the eight team Open don’t begin play until the quarterfinals round on Nov. 20.  These matchups will give the playoffs some added cachet:
 
No. 1 Helix vs. No. 8 Madison, 2 St. Augustine vs. 7 Eastlake, 3 Mission Hills vs. 6 La Costa Canyon, and 4 Cathedral vs. 5 Carlsbad.
 
High seeds in other brackets also receive byes in the first round, which begin this Friday night.  Action and anticipation will pick up next week.
