Every preseason, CBS Sports takes on an impossible task. The task is ranking from No. 1 down, all the FBS head coaches. Alabama football fans have enjoyed the rankings many times, thanks more to Nick Saban than CBS.
It is hard to not appreciate the efforts of the CBS rankings’ voters. Accurately ranking 133 head coaches is the goal, but it is one impossible to achieve. No one individual can possibly know enough about 133 college football programs and their head coaches.
When fans are parched for college football information, the ranking is useful for consideration and debate.
