By The USA Today Network Ohio High School Football Super 25 poll makes its debut this season, featuring voters from across the state. The Ohio Super 25 will rank who we believe are the state’s 25 best teams, regardless of division.
The inaugural poll is released today, as our voters select a preseason Ohio Super 25 ahead of the start of the Ohio High School Athletic Association regular season later this week.
The Ohio Super 25 Football Poll will be conducted weekly throughout the regular season using a panel of sports writers and sports editors from across the state. Each voter submits a Top 25 with a first-place vote worth 25 points, second place 24, and so on down to one point for 25th.
Here’s a look at our rankings ahead of Week 1.
