The AP Top 25 is voted by a national panel of sportswriters and broadcasters. The US LBM Coaches Poll is voted by a panel of FBS head coaches and is conducted by USA Today for the American Football Coaches Association. They are separate panels and they disagree, which is why both are shown here side by side.
No. The 12-team College Football Playoff field is set by the CFP selection committee, which publishes its own rankings starting in November. The AP and Coaches polls carry no formal weight in that decision. They are the polls everyone quotes, not the ones that pick the field.
The preseason AP Top 25 is released in mid-August, and a new poll follows every Sunday through the regular season, with a final poll after the national championship game. Rankings come from the published AP and Coaches polls via ESPN and update when the site refreshes, not live.
