With the AP Top 25 poll being released on Monday, both of the 2015 college football polls for the preseason are now out.
Last year’s national champions, the Ohio State Buckeyes, find themselves as the team to beat this season.
They are followed by the TCU Horned Frogs, Alabama Crimson Tide, Baylor Bears and Michigan State Spartans in the AP Poll. In the Coaches Poll, the top four is same with the Oregon Ducks at No. 5.
No one from the UConn Huskies conference, The American, are ranked in the top 25 of either poll. However, one of their conference opponents this season, the Cincinnati Bearcats, are among the others receiving votes in both polls. Another conference opponent, the UCF Knights, are among the others receiving votes in the Coaches Poll.
Only one of UConn football’s opponents is ranked in the top 25 of both polls and that is the Missouri Tigers (24/23). Another one, the BYU Cougars, is among the others receiving votes in both polls as well.
