We’re losing interest in preseason college football rankings, and we lay out why the AP preseason poll and coaches poll don’t carry the same weight anymore. We use recent history and CFP-era reality to show how much movement is coming and why August certainty usually falls apart fast.
• preseason rankings as conversation fuel rather than prediction
• how the College Football Playoff era changes what matters
• the preseason Top 5 and why it still misleads
• how often preseason Top 25 teams finish unranked
• why preseason No 1 rarely becomes national champion
• Texas’ starting spot and the reality of a loaded schedule
• parity and the rise of surprise teams like Indiana
