We compile that information and meet on a conference call every two weeks, not to mention keeping tabs in between polls. After discussing the teams each member votes on a Top 25 and we tabulate the results. Ten of the members are coaches. Eight of them are split up into a district and represent a region of the country. Two are at-large members and the remaining two are myself and a co-chair. Houston Christian has a good program and we have our eye on them. Our representative in Texas has a long list of contacts and also works with the Texas coaches' poll so you can be sure that Houston Christian will get a fair chance.
