An undefeated season ended with a bowl title for the Riverside City College football team on Nov. 19.
The Tigers defeated Saddleback College, 31-14, which allowed them to capture the Golden State Bowl title as well as ending the season 11-0.
Despite having an incredible season and proving themselves worthy of competing for a state championship, the Tigers were unable to compete for one, because they were in a second tier division.
Note: Teams in the first tier division of the Southern California Football Association are the only ones able to play for the state title.
Yesterday Mt. San Antonio College, a team Riverside defeated during its season, 29-26 on Sept. 24, played City College of San Francisco for the California state title.
Mt. SAC overcame two deficits but was unable to beat San Francisco and capture its third state championship. Instead San Francisco was able to defeat Mt. SAC, 52-42, to capture its sixth state championship in college history.
With the loss, Mt. SAC ended its season 13-2.
In the JC Gridiron national poll ranking, RCC ends up No. 4 as Mt. SAC ends up No. 8.
It is unknown how the national championship works but prior to the California state title game, many fans of California community college football said RCC had a chance to play for the national title.
As of now RCC ends its season as the undefeated Golden State Bowl champion and No. 4 in the nation.
