The preseason polls are coming fast and furious, which indicates the start of the college football season is fast approaching. Last week the US LBM Coaches Poll was released and this week we have the AP poll. Ultimately, the CFP poll will determine postseason berths, but we get an idea of where teams are slated ahead of the season.
Some teams will be overrated and some will be vastly underrated. It will be some time into the season before we really get a feel for some teams that were ranked by the Associated Press voters and some who were left outside the top 25.
