SBLive's North Coast Section Fab 15 football rankings: Tennyson, St. Vincent join the fray

With two weeks remaining in the regular season, North Coast Section's elite football teams are flexing its strength. 

The top 11 in the SBLive Fab 15 rankings remained in place with largely lopsided wins, including victories by a combined score of 212-31 among the top six teams. That included a 2-0 forfeit win by No. 4 El Cerrito over Hercules. 

Two first-time teams entered the fray this week, No. 14 Tennyson-Hayward which defeated previous No. 13 James Logan-Union City decisively 26-6, and No. 15 St. Vincent de Paul-Petaluma, which won its eighth straight game without a loss 42-12 over Ukiah. 

The Mustangs have outscored opponents 317-105 and with upcoming opponents Healdsburg and Maria Carrillo a combined 4-12, there's a good chance they'll enter postseason undefeated. 

A pair of TCAL-Stone teams, St. Mary's-Albany and St. Patrick-St. Vincent-Vallejo, are on the bubble and a combined 15-0. Those teams are set to face off Week 10.
