Didn’t this use to be the USA Today/ESPN poll? Whatever it is, everyone knows that the AP Poll is really the one that counts anyway.

Again, more football before it needs to be covered, but at least college football starts at the end of this month as opposed to next month when the NFL finally gets underway.
