The season is nearly here.
Week 1 kicks off on Aug. 28, and before teams take the field under the Friday night lights, we want you to help determine who the top team in the state will be in 2026. Readers can vote in our poll below on who they think should be the Des Moines Register's preseason Team of the Year.
Our poll includes each team in as an option. Fans have until 7 p.m. on Aug. 28 to make their voice heard.
