Based on the response(s) received to a prior post ... expect the first Pacific high school ratings at the close of December's games.

Unlike the voters in The Associated Press, USA Today/ESPN coaches and Harris polls, ORNY doesn't do preseason ratings.

The ratings will be posted here first on a conditional/experimental basis, Top Ten for both girls and boys. They will continue until just prior to the Far East tournaments, with a final end-of-season ratings just after.

If the response warrants, we'll see about getting them into the print version as well.

And dare ORNY rate the soccer teams during the spring?

Thank you for your overwhelming response!
