How are the schools chosen for ranking and who (coaches, media, etc.) votes for the rankings?
The NSCAA separates the country into regions. These regions may consist of one state or several states, depending upon the number of schools playing in each state. The Regional Chair makes contacts in each section (North, South, East and West) of all the states in his or her region. From those contacts, teams are nominated to appear in the regional and national rankings. All members of the committee and regional contacts are high school coaches or involved with the schools (i.e., athletic directors at the high schools).
