I'm going to try something new for the remainder of the football season: Rankings, brought to you by the inside of my head.

We're currently working on getting some entirely objective, computerized rankings to compare these to, but those won't be ready for another week or two. So in the mean time, this is it.

And before anybody says it: No, I haven't seen every team in the section play. And no, these aren't going to be universally correct. But they're a jumping-off point for discussion. Treat them as such:

CENTRAL SECTION RANKINGS

1. Bakersfield (1-0) — As far as I'm concerned, the champs can stay here as long as they look like they belong. And the Drillers own perhaps the section's best victory thus far.
LAST WEEK: won at Canyon Country-Canyon, 38-32. THIS WEEK: BYE.

2. Fresno-Edison (1-0) — Is this the year the Tigers live up to their considerable talent level and hype? Friday night will go a long way toward answering that question.
LAST WEEK: won at Madera, 69-10. THIS WEEK: vs. Compton-Dominguez.

3. Clovis East (0-1) — Gutsy effort against top Texas team says Timberwolves will be a factor.
LAST WEEK: lost at Colleyville (Texas)-Heritage, 41-26. THIS WEEK: at Redlands.

4. Visalia-El Diamante (0-0) — When Edison dropped to Division II, the Miners suddenly received some stiff competition for their title.
LAST WEEK: BYE. THIS WEEK: vs. No. 9 West.

5. Clovis West (1-0) — Disturbing game for Golden Eagles against Liberty; they probably should have lost.
LAST WEEK: won at Liberty, 22-19. THIS WEEK: vs. Anaheim-Servite

6. Clovis-Buchanan (1-0) — The Tri-River Athletic Conference will be absolutely loaded, as usual.
LAST WEEK: won at Sanger, 30-16. THIS WEEK: BYE.

7. Liberty (0-1) — Patriots might have said more in loss than most teams do in wins.
LAST WEEK: lost vs. Clovis West, 22-19. THIS WEEK: BYE.

8. Tulare Union (0-0) — With light schedule, Redskins could be safest bet to go 10-0 — until the playoffs.
LAST WEEK: BYE. THIS WEEK: vs. Visalia-Golden West.

9. West (0-0) — Vikings travel to El Diamante as immediate measuring stick in Chad Grider's first game.
LAST WEEK: BYE. THIS WEEK: at No. 4 Visalia-El Diamante.

10. Tehachapi (1-0) — Victory over Santa Ana-Segerstrom could have been easier, but it still speaks volumes about what a quality program this is.
LAST WEEK: won vs. Santa Ana-Segerstrom, 17-12. THIS WEEK: vs. Garces.

11. Centennial (0-0) — If Bryan Nixon can earn another league title with four returning starters, it'd be his best coaching job. Visalia-Redwood should be a win to start.
LAST WEEK: BYE. THIS WEEK: vs. Visalia-Redwood.

12. Bakersfield Christian (0-1) — No shame in losing to Celebrity High, especially considering Eagles looked like they belonged.
LAST WEEK: lost vs. Westlake Village-Oaks Christian, 35-7. THIS WEEK: BYE.

13. Foothill (0-0) — Interested to see if the Trojans handle Arvin better than Highland did.
LAST WEEK: BYE. THIS WEEK: vs. Arvin.

14. Taft (1-0) — Maybe this is too low. Who wants to go play the Wildcats right now?
LAST WEEK: won vs. Templeton, 28-3. THIS WEEK: vs. Avenal.

15. Sanger (0-1) — Apaches certainly don't do themselves any scheduling favors, with Clovis East coming two weeks after Buchanan loss.
LAST WEEK: lost vs. Clovis-Buchanan, 30-16. THIS WEEK: at Fresno-Sunnyside.

Waiting: Fowler, North, Highland, Hanford, Corcoran, Chowchilla, Stockdale
