Ranking process: Nine voters, 2 coaches from each class (plus me), from around the state submit ballots representing their top 20 teams. The ballots are compiled and calculated to determine the total number of ranking points for each team ( a 1st place vote = 20pts, 2nd pace = 19pts, 3rd = 18pts, etc.)
