Coaches Poll College Football
In short
The Coaches Poll College Football rankings provide a weekly assessment of the top teams in American college football based on votes from a panel of head coaches.
What is happening
Coaches across the country submit their rankings each week during the regular season to influence the national championship conversation. These rankings are updated following the conclusion of each round of games.
When
The dates for specific weekly updates are not confirmed here.
Why it matters
This poll is one of the primary metrics used to determine which teams qualify for post-season play and the college football playoffs. It offers a different perspective from the AP Poll because the voters are active coaches within the sport.
Easy to mix up
It is often confused with the AP Poll, which is voted on by members of the media rather than coaching staff.
