The Media/Computer ACS football rankings is the only state-wide poll with every corner of the state covered. With all six divisions listed and treated equally, it is certainly one of the most comprehensive in the country.

For Southern Arizona, we have Ski Wilczewski of the Nogales International, Jay David Murphy of the Eastern Arizona Courier and our own TucsonCitizen.com vote.

Duncan and St. David are still in the D-VI top ten and Thatcher is climbing in the D-V poll.

Empire reentered the top ten for D-IV and Sabino still tops the D-III poll with Nogales and Sahuarita still holding tough.

There are no D-I teams from Southern Arizona listed but Ironwood Ridge and Salpointe are both in the top three in D-II. Cienega slipped a bit after they were upset by Mountain View but thy are still in the top 10. Mountain View and Sahuaro are looking to break in.
