Pollis is a major target for the US LBMC.
The poll is a way to find out who is the most dominant force in college football before the season even begins. It is made up of 67 Division I head coaches who are all members of the American Football Coaches Association.
Fans, experts, or journalists don’t decide that supremacy. The leaders of the teams vying for a national championship in January vote on it based on their individual lists of the top 25 teams.
Additionally, Texas is ranked first for the first time in the Coaches Poll’s history.
The Longhorns have established themselves as the preseason favorite with 1,606 total points and 28 first-place votes. Georgia is in fourth place with only three votes, followed by Ohio State with 20 votes for first place and 1,565 votes, followed by Penn State in third place with 14.
Texas is the only Southeastern Conference team in the top three, out of nine that qualified for the Top 25.
Texas has been placed in the top five spots 35 times, but this is the first time the Longhorns have been a preseason favorite in this specific poll. Texas has been included on the Coaches Poll for the seventh straight season.
This poll adds to the excitement surrounding Texas’ season-opening matchup with Ohio State on August 30. With the Coaches Poll being the first ranking to make the day a No. 1 vs. No. 2 showdown, the excitement is evident even though College Gameday will already be traveling to Columbus, Ohio, where the Buckeyes will host the first Game of the Week.
It’s also crucial to remember that only one preseason Coaches Poll favorite—Alabama in 2017—has won a national championship in the previous ten seasons.
The Longhorns shouldn’t give up too quickly, though. It is possible to overcome the odds. In any case, at the end of the month, the poll can be shown to be accurate or inaccurate.
