Charlotte Country Day is second, Charlotte Christian third, Davidson Day fourth and Charlotte Latin fifth, through week 5 games. The poll updates every Thursday.

The rankings don't split the NCISAA by Division and rates the teams factors like strength of schedule, margin of victory and win-loss record, according to the website. More recent games have more emphasis in the rankings.
