OSAAtoday presents its 2026 statewide 4A and 3A football coaches polls after Week 2 of the regular season. Thanks to all the coaches who took the time and had the expertise to contribute their opinions to this endeavor.

Look for the 6A and 5A football polls every Tuesday during the fall season, the 4A and 3A polls every Wednesday and the 2A, 1A-8 and 1A-6 player polls every Thursday.


Please note: these polls are for generating interest and discussion only and have no impact on the OSAA’s RPI and Colley ratings that form the basis of the OSAA’s rankings for playoff purposes.

If there are any varsity football head coaches who would like to vote in the coaches polls going forward but did not receive notice to vote in this one, please email johnt@osaa.org.
