IBCA Preseason Girls Basketball Poll for November 8

Below are results of the IBCA girls’ basketball poll for Week 1 of the 2026-27 season (Nov. 8, 2026).

The IBCA poll is a “non-class” poll, where teams are voted to a Top 20 regardless of school classification.

There are 22 panelists who vote for the poll — one voter each from the 16 regionals and six at-large voters (two each from IHSAA Districts 1, 2 and 3), including committee chairman Doug Springer of Northridge as a District 1 at-large voter.

This poll is released on Sundays throughout the 2026-27 Indiana high school girls’ basketball season. The final poll for the season will be on Jan. 31, 2027, the Sunday following the completion of regular-season games.

IHSAA sectional games are scheduled Feb. 2-6, 2027.
