If we take the following 5 polls (Yappi, AP, Harbin Points Rank, Max Preps, Drew Pasteur), select the ranks for each team, drop the highest and lowest ranking, and average the remaining three, we end up with the following:

Avg. Team Yap AP Harbin MaxPreps DrewPasteur
1. Massillon 1 1 1 1 1
2. Hoban 2 3 9 2 2
3. TCC 3 2 2 4 3
4. Anthony Wayne 6 5 5 6 6
5. La Salle 4 9 8 5 4
6. Turpin 8 4 4 8 10
7. Avon 5 6 6 11 8
8. Mayfield 9 7 7 7 5
9. Winton Woods 7 11 16 3 7
10. Harrison 11 10 3 10 14

While this methodology is not perfect, it does smooth out some of the biases or imperfections inherent in the different polls.
Honorable mentions:

11. Avon Lake 10 13 12 12 11
12. Col. St Francis 13 8 10 22 13
13. Benedictine 12 14(not listed in AP) 17 9 9
 
Good thing polls mean nothing in the playoff era. We would only have one State Championship instead of three!

D-2 and Massillon are deep in your head, Bob. Step back and take a breather, then you might see what it is doing to you.

Polls are very deep inside your head, Billy Bob, as that is all you have to show for after all these years. Glad we aren't you guys!
