College football teams have returned to the practice fields for fall camp, and the long-awaited beginning of workouts are a precursor to the release of preseason polls.
While the Associated Press will unveil its initial Top 25 ranking on Aug. 19, the Amway Coaches Poll is usually announced on the first Thursday of the month.

As always, consider the preseason polls an "initial expectation" list.
