OSAAtoday presents its 2023 statewide pre-season 4A and 3A football coaches polls. Thanks to all the coaches who took the time and had the expertise to contribute their opinions to this endeavor.
The pre-season 6A and 5A polls were released yesterday and can be found here: https://www.osaa.org/today. OSAAtoday will publish the pre-season 2A, 1A-8 player and 1A-6 player polls on Wednesday.
Look for the 4A and 3A football polls every Wednesday 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.
