The USA Today Coaches 2019 Preseason Top 25 Poll

[Omega]

The USA Today Coaches 2019 Preseason Top 25 Poll is out with the usual suspects. We would be better served with no polls until week five.

Amway Coaches Poll
The Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports is conducted weekly throughout the regular season using a panel of head coaches at FBS schools. The panel is chosen by random draw, conference by conference plus independents, from a pool of coaches who have indicated to the American Football Coaches Association their willingness to participate. Each coach submits a Top 25 with a first-place vote worth 25 points, second place 24, and so on down to one point for 25th.

good stuff.

[Bleeding Red]

I agree with most of those pre season rankings. It is SEC and B1G heavy and that seems about right after last year's ending and what each team returns this season.

Fair enough. Need to put beside Alabama. No games till last month of season
