The coaches poll was released last week, and it got many folks excited. For the first time ever, Kentucky appeared inside that ranking during the preseason. But that is not the granddaddy of them all when it comes to top 25 rankings.
The AP Top 25 has been around since 1936 and serves as a great historical reference guide when trying to calculate where programs stand in the history of this terrific sport. That poll will be released on Monday and serve as another reminder that college football is just around the corner.
Sportswriters from all over the country will put together their own list of rankings, and the AP will add all of those up on Monday as the important numbers placed by college names mark the beginning of another wild year.
