If you want to switch to a poll, make it ONLY the teams your school played.
For instance, you rank each school you play, as you play them. You can't change them other than slotting the newest team in your list.
For instance, if you play Week 1, that team is #1. You play Week 2, you put that team either #1 or #2, moving them other team down or leaving them at #1. After week 3, you place them 1st, second, or third. The other two can't swap order. Then fourth week, etc.
After ten weeks, you have ten teams ranked #1 through #10 (if played less than 10, you have #1 through #9, etc).
10 points for your opponent ranking you #1, 9 for #2, 8 for #3, etc. Whether you won or lost, you get ranked by all ten possible OHSAA opponents (if not an OHSAA opponent then you only get ranked on the games you played in state).
Then, adjust for division. For every division up you played, you gain 0.5 to the multiplier, for every division down is -0.5. So, A D1 playing D1 would be 1.0. A D1 playing D7 would be 0.7. A D7 playing D7 would be 1.0. A D7 playing D1 would be 1.3.
So, if a D4 played a D6, and the D6 school said the D4 team was the 4th best team they played all year, they'd get 7 (ranking score) * 0.9 (division adjustment) = 6.3 for your points for that game.
Take all ten of your eligible opponent's rankings and average them by the number of eligible games you played (9 games would be totaled and divided by 9, for example).
Take everyone's score in your region and that's your standings
This prevents teams from being graded by how they finished, rather than how they actually played in that particular game. if a team improved or declined as the year went on, the more recent opponents would reflect that accordingly.
