The State Football Media Poll is determined by a simple points system based on how each voting media member ranks teams in each classification. A team receives five points for a first-place vote, four points for a second-place vote and so on down through the fifth-place team, which receives one point. The rankings are set by listing the teams' point totals from highest to lowest.
