Straight from the horse’s mouth, here are the end-of-regular-season high school football rankings, according to the AP. West Michigan teams are tied for, or own outright, the #1 ranking in Divisions 1,2,3,6,7,8.
Are we looking at a repeat of 2008 in this year’s playoffs? I can’t imagine that the West side would claim all eight again, but hey, six out of eight ain’t shabby.
(AP) – The top 10 teams in the Associated Press high school football poll, with records in parentheses.
Totals are based on 10 points for a first-place vote, 9 for second, etc.
The Michigan High School Athletic Association has determined playoff qualifiers in eight divisions based on enrollment. The divisions in this poll are unofficial.
