All I care about is who is ranked higher after week 1
When does the AP come out?
I don't know, but last year's came out on 8/21

The coaches' poll:
All polls.
Well, except the BCS
pollstandings that determines the playoff teams. Still made up, but does matter.The above comment was edited enough where this comment now makes no sense
They look at the other polls, and then come up with their own standings.
So they matter.
The committee is nothing more than a poll with very few participants.
There is no BCS poll.
Considering VT's preseason rankings in the last 4 years I'm happy we're in there...and hopefully the players take it personally that the cousins are ranked two spots higher for some reason unbeknownst to me.
