The Amway Coaches Poll and the preseason AP Poll were about as identical as they’ve ever been among the top 10 teams in the nation. In both the AP and Coaches Poll this preseason, the Texas football program ranked at No. 10. There were literally no differences between the preseason AP Poll and Coaches Poll in the top 10 this year.
The first difference that emerged between both polls this year came at No. 11. At No. 11, the two polls flip-flopped the Texas A&M Aggies and a host of PAC-12 teams (Washington Huskies and Oregon Ducks).
