Voters rank the top 16 teams in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision, and the results will be released every Sunday of the 2024 season; the individual votes of all members will also be made public. The first regular season poll will be released on Tuesday, Sept. 3 (to account for Labor Day games), and the final poll will be released Sunday, Dec. 8. The pollsters consist of FWAA writers and College Football Hall of Famers who were selected to create a balanced-geographical perspective. The poll utilizes a computer program designed by Sports Systems to compile the rankings and the Cody Kellner Points Index to publish the individual votes.

_everyoneshere Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Somehow Clemson stayed in the AP25 at 25. Oregon we all knew was not meant to be a top 5 team, they're in a better place now at 7. Michigan is now at 10. I still think Ohio State at 2 is off the mark and should switch with Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
