So who are the coaches who vote in the CIF-SS top ten?

Every Friday we dutifully send in our weekly scores to the CIF and every Monday we patiently wait for the CIF-SS top ten softball coaches poll to come out to see if we've moved. So who are these coaches and what criteria do they look at?

That kind of prompts the question. There are teams ranked high in the top ten who have worse Maxpreps rankings and game records than those ranked below them. For example, a team let's say ranked 3 or 4 by CIF, has a Maxpreps ranking of over 200; and team ranked 8 or 9 by CIF has a Maxpreps rank of low 100's. I know Maxpreps does not take into consideration difficulty of the game schedule. Just curious on what the CIF criteria is.

Here is a link to cifss.org. Under the tab "Sports" go to the last item ""Sports Previews and Bulletins" Then go to softball. I believe on the 2nd page it says how and who make the decisions.

Looks like one coach in each division reviews scores sent in, and uses those for the rankings in that division. Not really a poll, is it?
