After a one week “hiatus,” College of San Mateo is back atop California Community College football coaches poll, conducted by the JC Athletic Bureau. Reigning CCCAA state champ Riverside (3-1) had its pacesetting 15-game win streak interrupted by Golden West, 37-20, and dropped from the top spot to No. 7 this week. Six National Division teams, two with make-ups pending, remain undefeated.

San Mateo (4-0) totaled 244 points to take the top spot, ahead of Bay 6 league rival City College of San Francisco (4-0 and 236 points). CSM downed former unbeaten No. 6 Fresno CC, 38-27, for its 19th straight regular season victory. CCSF defeated then No. 12 American River, 51-14. Ventura (4-0) blanked Chaffey, 60-0, and is the top Southern California team (third in the poll with 231 points) – just ahead of Northern league foe College of the Canyons (4-0 and 219 points). All teams in the top 25 changed positions, an unusual occurrence.

Most teams conclude non-league play this week, although there will be some make-ups on the Oct. 9 “bye” date.2021 JC Athletic Bureau Poll of California Community College Football Coaches
