CIF Football Polls: Bishop is 6th entering final week of season

For the second straight week, Bishop Diego moved up in the CIF Northern Division football poll. The Cardinals are ranked sixth this week after rising two spots to No. 7 last week.

Bishop had been stuck at No. 9 for several weeks.

The Cardinals (9-0, 2-0) put their ranking, unbeaten record and sole possession of first place in the Tri-Valley League on the line Friday in the regular-season finale at Nordhoff in Ojai. The Rangers (2-7, 1-1) have denied Bishop a league title the last two seasons.

Carpinteria (3-6, 1-1), which is listed among others in the Northern Division, can make the playoffs if it beats Fillmore on Friday at home.
