Today, the journalists at Grassroots Soccer Media Union are releasing our first Grassroots Media Poll. The poll is similar to the AP Poll. Each member gets to pick their Top twenty-five. Their first place pick receives twenty-five points, second place pick receives twenty-four, all the way down to the twenty-fifth pick receiving one point. Teams are then ranked based on these points. Here are the results of inaugural poll. Asterisks by the rank indicate a tie in the ranking. The number in parentheses for ranked teams indicates the number of first place votes they received.
