Amway Coach’s Poll and AP Top 25 Released (Week 10)

After 9 weeks of the college football season have been completed, the weekly polls are seeing less and less movement.  Both the AP Top 25 Poll and Amway Coach’s Poll have been released today.  The one that we are all waiting for, however, is set to be released this Tuesday.

Everyone is waiting for the College Football Playoff Poll to see who the committee favors and what teams will likely have to do to make the poll.  While we wait, though, the Coach’s and AP Polls will have to satisfy our appetite.

While you’re waiting, do remember that these polls are supposed to have 0 impact on the College Football Playoff Committee’s view and how they rank the teams.  Their rankings could be completely different.
