poll for this fall season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our pollsters give their selections for who they believe are the top 10 performing football teams that you\u2019ll see on the<em> Astound TV Network<\/em> this fall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each voter will select the top 10 teams \u2013 with the top team getting 10 points, 9 for the second best team, 8 for third and so forth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One caveat \u2013 in order to balance the bigger and smaller schools in the region, each pollster MUST include at least three teams that are NOT a 6A-sized school.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a brand new way to gauge the top teams in Eastern Pennsylvania this fall, and we invite you to check back each week throughout this football season to see which teams make our poll\u2026and who\u2019s listed where, as decided by our diverse group of voters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One other unique aspect to our poll\u2026the coaches and athletic directors\u2019 names are never revealed so they can vote with their minds\u2026and also avoid any potential \u201cbulletin board\u201d material, so each one can make selections without repercussions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout the years that we have done our poll, the coaches and athletic directors have always maintained very objective opinions.\u00a0 If you look back through our archives, you\u2019ll notice that our pollsters have been amazingly accurate and unbiased in their selections, and our polls\u2019 top teams very often finish similarly in the same order as the \u201cpower points\u201d system that District XI uses when compiling its standings and playoff positionings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So without any further delay, here\u2019s this week\u2019s edition of the \u201c<strong>Astounding 10<\/strong>\u201d
