The CIF Southern Section uses the 'competitive equity' model to produce its playoff brackets for a number of sports, most notably football, basketball, and now baseball (and softball).

The competitive equity model uses computer rankings to judge teams on its current season. A team's rank will be produced based on wins, losses, strength of schedule, and other variables like point differential.

Previous systems used by the CIF to produce the postseason divisions have included school enrollment, geography, and most recently (before competitive equity), the last two seasons of data, which was used to predetermine divisions before the season started.

The regular season is over and these rankings represent the final rankings before the playoff pairings are produced. This edition of the rankings was produced the morning of May 5, which means two more days of competition are NOT included in this data.

The last day of the regular season is May 6. The first day of the playoffs is scheduled for May 14. The Division 1 playoffs start Tuesday, May 12.

NOTE: Division 1 will consist of 16 teams and will play in a new, pool-play format. The subsequent divisions can have as many as 32 teams.

Here are the latest baseball playoff computer rankings as of May 5.
