MEDIA POLL: Sandpoint football steady in No. 3 spot
The statewide football media poll is determined by a simple points system based on how each media member ranks the top five 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.
