The Impact Player of the Week will be launching when the season begins. Please check back in September.

Each week, the IMPACT Player of the Week is Chosen by the The Master Coaches Survey (MCS,) and weekly rankings of the top five players are displayed here. The MCS is an advisory poll comprised of 17 former college football coaches, including 11 College Football Hall of Fame Members and represents eight national championships and over 3,000 victories combined. The Master Coaches review all of the relevant game tapes following each week of competition, discuss each team’s performance during a weekly conference call, then establish a ranking of the Top 25 teams. The Master Coaches Poll Top 25 can be found on the MCS website (www.mcspoll.com), including a breakdown of how the coaches voted.

As part of their selection process, the coaches not only attend games across the nation, but spend countless hours reviewing the DVDs of the previous weekend’s match-ups. Through this extensive process, the expert panel of coaches selects the IMPACT Player of the Week.

The MCS Mission


The 17 Master Coaches discuss team strengths and weaknesses every week of the season to separate the pretenders from the contenders. The evaluation process is very comprehensive, and the standards are beyond reproach.



The Master Coaches Poll is unique because it is made up of three components… the most experienced coaches, who actually watch the games, and discuss and deliberate before they cast their vote. No other system has any of these components. Come back each week and review the results of the Master Coaches' efforts here at the LottTrophy.com
