Following this edition of the Top Ten, we will be taking the next two days off before coming back following the completion of the regular season and before the conference championship games are played. Hope to have several coaches' inputs for the final poll of the season.
If you like to participate in this ranking, please site mail your top 10 (with or without comments) to omcs1981 by 8 PM central time. You can submit your top 10 just once, every day, or just when you have time. For it to continue, I must have at least one coach provide their rankings each day. Thanks and hope you enjoyed the article.
