Lowndes was ranked in an Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll for the 250th time this week. Here are the schools that have been ranked at least 250 times in the AJC rankings since 1952, when the poll began. Half weeks were credited until 1982, when the Atlanta Journal and Atlanta Constitution polls merged. Before then, it was possible to be ranked in one, but not the other, and half weeks were credited. Teams marked with an asterisk are ranked this week.
