2021 pre-season 6A football coaches poll

OSAAtoday presents its 2021 statewide pre-season 6A football poll. Thanks to all the coaches who took the time and had the expertise to contribute their opinions to this endeavor.

The pre-season 5A and 4A polls will be released tomorrow. OSAAtoday will publish the pre-season 3A and 2A polls on Wednesday and the pre-season 1A (8-man) and 1A (6-man) polls on Thursday.

Look for the 6A football poll every Tuesday during the fall season.

Please note: these polls are for generating interest and discussion only and have no impact on the OSAA’s RPI and Colley ratings that form the basis of the OSAA’s rankings for playoff purposes.
