August 14, 2004 - The NCS Poll is the average of all major polls listed at the bottom of this page. If for example a team is ranked 6th then they are given 6 points for that poll. The different rankings are added and the total is divided by the number of polls, which yields the average. If a team did not make one of the polls they are given 30 points for the non-ranking. More polls will be added in as they are released.
