There have been various attempts at compiling a poll of the top high school teams in the country since the late 1980s. [[Academic Hallmarks]] used to release their own Top 25 rankings around 1990. [[Kevin Commo]] inquired on the [[Yahoo group]] about doing a poll in 1999. Some states, such as Illinois, do [[Illinois Scholastic Bowl Coaches' Poll|their own polls for state teams]].

==Quizbowl Resource Center Poll==

The first nationwide NCAA football-style poll for high school teams was run by the [[Quizbowl Resource Center]] in May 2001. [[2001 Eisenhower (MI)|Eisenhower]] was the clear #1, receiving 14 of 17 votes cast and outdistancing their in-state rivals [[2001 Detroit Catholic Central|Detroit Catholic Central]] by a handy margin. [[2001 State College|State College]], [[2001 Dorman|Dorman]], and [[2001 Cookeville|Cookeville]] each received one first-place vote each.

The next poll, conducted after the 2001 season had concluded in chaos--with ten different teams making the finals at the five nationals--was perhaps the most open-ended and interesting. 25 people voted, and four different teams received multiple first-place votes. [[2001 HSNCT|NAQT]] champion [[2001 Detroit Catholic Central|Detroit Catholic Central]] emerged as the #1, with a slim majority of the #1 votes, 13 out of 25, but a strong edge in total points over #2, the [[2001 NSC|PACE]] winners [[2001 State College|State College]].

The next poll was run in November 2001, after some of the larger fall tournaments had released results. It saw a dead tie between [[2002 Detroit Catholic Central|Detroit Catholic Central]] and [[2002 Dorman|Dorman]], each with 7 first-place votes and 292 total points. [[2002 Cookeville|Cookeville]] was a hairsbreadth behind, with 289 total points and a first-place vote.

In February 2002, after some more important tournaments, the poll was run for a fourth time, and organizer [[Matt Weiner]] saw a strong regional bias in most of the ballots. [[2002 Dorman|Dorman]] received 9 of 16 first-place votes and had 37 more total points than second-place [[2002 Cookeville|Cookeville]] in this poll.

Before the next poll, Weiner invited a group of high school coaches and collegiate students with heavy involvement in the high school game to comprise a closed panel that would conduct the future polls.

Eight members of the panel participated in the first overhauled poll, in May 2002. No team won a majority of the first-place votes, and [[2002 Detroit Catholic Central|Detroit Catholic Central]] beat [[2002 Detroit Country Day|Detroit Country Day]] by four total points to take the #1 spot.

The 2002 post-season poll, run in July, saw a much clearer picture, as the first-place votes all shifted to [[2002 HSNCT|NAQT]] finalists [[2002 Irmo|Irmo]] and [[2002 St. John's (TX)|St. John's]], neither of whom had received any first-place votes in the pre-nationals poll. Irmo's 5 first-place votes and 221 total points edged St. John's 4 first-place votes and 218 points for the top spot.

The 2002 fall poll occurred in December, with [[2003 Dorman|Dorman]] taking 7 of 9 first-place votes to win. Dorman remained on top in the May pre-nationals poll, earning 9 of 10 #1 votes.

In June 2003, [[2003 Dorman|Dorman]] and [[2003 Thomas Jefferson (VA)|Thomas Jefferson]] squared off in the finals of both major nationals, and they likewise attracted all the attention atop the August 2003 postseason poll. Dorman received 4 of 6 first-place votes and edged TJ by 3 total points.

By this time, only six members of the panel were turning in ballots, which jeopardized the representative quality of the poll. The August 2003 edition was the last poll run by Matt Weiner under the official auspices of the Quizbowl Resource Center.

===Poll Board===

The eligible voters on the HSQB poll when it closed down were:

*High school coaches [[J.R. Barry]] of [[Brookwood]], [[Kevin Commo]] of [[Burlington]], [[Julie Gittings]] of [[State College]], [[Carolyn Hawkins]] of [[Cookeville]], [[Eric Huff]] of [[Dorman]], and [[David Riley]] of [[Loyola Academy]]

*Collegiate players [[Charles Meigs]] of [[UCLA]], [[Nate Meyvis]] of [[Yale]], [[Chris Romero]] of [[Texas A&M]], [[Matt Weiner]] of [[VCU]], and [[Robert Wilson]] of [[Michigan]]

*PACE members [[David Bykowski]] and [[Emil Thomas Chuck]]

==Noah Rahman Poll==

Noah Rahman independently conducted a poll of [[hsquizbowl.org]] posters midway through the nationals schedule in June 2005, which received 10 votes. [[2005 Thomas Jefferson (VA)|Thomas Jefferson]] finished on top with 8 of 10 first-place votes and a comfortable lead over [[2005 State College|State College]]. [[2005 Brookwood|Brookwood]] and [[2005 Dupont Manual|Dupont Manual]] received the other two #1 votes.

==Fred Morlan Poll==

In April 2007, HSQB chief administrator and PACE member [[Fred Morlan]] set out to conduct a new poll, with the permission of the rest of the HSQB/PACE staff. It followed a rule from the original Weiner poll: anyone could vote, but aberrant ballots would be discarded at Fred's discretion.

Eighteen people voted in the first new poll, with [[2007 Maggie Walker|Maggie Walker]] coming out on top with 16 first-place votes, and second-place [[2007 State College|State College]] receiving the other two.

The poll was run once more after nationals, and saw Walker become the first-ever unanimous #1, getting the top spot in all 22 of the ballots cast. Second-place [[2007 HSNCT|NAQT]] finisher [[2007 State College|State College]] was the clear #2.

In August 2007, the first-ever preseason poll was run, and saw [[2008 Dorman|Dorman]] edge [[2008 Thomas Jefferson (VA)|Thomas Jefferson]] for the top spot.
