Coaches Poll

The Coaches Poll is a ranking system for college sports teams, such as football or basketball, where college coaches vote to determine the top teams in the country. Each coach submits a list ranking their best teams, and these votes are combined to create weekly rankings. The poll reflects the collective opinion of experienced coaches about team performance, helping fans and analysts gauge which teams are considered the best nationally. While influential, it is one of several tools used to assess team standings and progress during the season.
