AURORA - To celebrate the start of the fall sports and activities season, the Colorado High School Activities Association is publishing its preseason poll for football as well as its other fall team sports and activities. Below you can find the preseason polls for football.
Please know that CHSAA will ONLY be doing a preseason coaches poll and all fall sports and activities will be included. Throughout the season, CHSAA will publicize the Seedings Index as a weekly ranking for the sports that have a Seedings Index (field hockey, flag football, football, boys soccer, softball and girls volleyball). These rankings will go live once there are enough games played to populate a ranking (approx. week 3 or 4 for most sports).
