The preseason AP top 25 poll was released last week, signifying that the season is almost here. The preseason coaches poll was released three weeks ago, and the two polls are almost identical.
The top six in the rankings of Alabama, Ohio State, Florida State, USC, Clemson, and Penn State are the exact same in both polls. And 24 of the 25 teams are the same, just in a slightly different order. Washington State at no. 24 in the AP poll and Utah at no. 25 in the coaches poll were the only differences.
Preseason rankings don’t mean much.
