With 400+ satisfied clients nationally, yours truly is the #1 promoter of HSFB games and events in America. No human being on Earth watches more games annually than I. Over the past three years we've infused over $500,000 into the game of we love. MaxPreps and HSFA realize how important and invaluable we to the sport. Hence, why they include our poll in their prestigious composite polls annually. 

Not questioning your resume, knowledge or dedication—-just asking is the ranking here is a poll or your opinion… simple question.

Every non-algorithm poll is an opinion poll. We're no different than the six others outside of CP, Massey and HSFA.

How many folks? You keep trying to change the question—-First it was many sites are ran by individuals, now it’s all opinion polls are based on opinion. Thank you for pointing out the obvious, but the question remains as to who is behind the curtain.
 

You keep saying “poll’ and “we” and “our”, but won’t say who or how many folks you are referring to…is it just you?

Sorry, I forgot you're a newbie. Yes, I'm a one-man show just like the others.

Now we are getting somewhere.  
 

Blue star is also a one man show as far as rankings, but other sources such as USA Today, ESPN and SI claim to take more than a single opinion into account, max-preps likewise claims to be based on ‘staff’ ranking implying more than one opinion is involved.

A group isn’t necessarily more reliable than an individual determination and a group is certainly capable of getting it wrong. That said, individual opinions are generally, although not always, more prone to bias influences which tend to cancel out in a group.

As a poll of one your individual opinion curries a heavy relative weight in the composite polls— for good or bad.

The MaxPreps Poll is def the braintrust of one individual, Zack Poff, who we recently interviewed here.

I watched the interviews---thanks for posting the link.  Great to put names to faces and to get some insights into the thought process.

Sorry, but only the nine (9) national HSFB pollsters are included. Check with The Comp Poll and its four (4) Twitter followers. Maybe he'll include you and Omaha if you beg hard enough.
