UPI Poll

The United Press and International News Service merged into the United Press International, and, beginning in 1958, coaches continued to be polled by the UPI to select a mythical state champion until the seventies. In 1976, they selected teams by class at the end of regular season until 1990. The IFCA took over the coaches' poll in 1991.
