Poll Methodology
The statewide boys basketball coaches poll is determined by a simple points system based on how each coach ranks the top five teams in their classification. A team receives five points for a first place vote, four points for a second place vote and so on down through the fifth place team, which receives one point. The rankings are set by listing the teams' point totals from highest to lowest.
The weekly coaches poll is presented by Project Filter. If you or someone you knows needs help quitting, visit the Project Filter site here to learn more!
