The Coaches Poll is a weekly ranking of the top 25 NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) college football, Division I college basketball, and Division I college baseball teams. The football version of the poll has been known officially as the Amway Coaches Poll since 2014.
Which coaches vote in the Coaches Poll?
The FBS Coaches Poll is conducted weekly throughout the regular season using a panel of head coaches at FBS schools. The panel is chosen by random draw, conference by conference plus independents, from a pool of coaches who have indicated to the AFCA their willingness to participate.
Does the Coaches Poll matter?
The Coaches Poll also holds a five-year accuracy advantage in categories such as fewer preseason top 10 ranked teams falling completely out of the rankings by the end of the season and fewer teams making a top 10 finish who did not make an appearance in the preseason Top 25.

How is the Top 25 determined?
Each voter provides their own ranking of the top 25 teams, and the individual rankings are then combined to produce the national ranking by giving a team 25 points for a first place vote, 24 for a second place vote, and so on down to 1 point for a twenty-fifth place vote.
