The month of August is upon us and that means that college football fans are gearing up for what should be another incredible year.

August is when fans really start getting excited about the upcoming season and buying into the preseason hype from other fans, media, and even some coaches and players.

The hype really gets going when the preseason AP Top 25 is released.

It happens every year that the AP Top 25 rankings cause some controversy and some fans believe that their team is much better than what the media believes to start the season. Other teams get dubbed “overrated” in the first poll and the debates are usually endless.

So when do we get to start debating this preseason AP Top 25?

Preseason college football AP Top 25 release date

If you’re wondering when you can finally get an idea of where everyone sits to start the season, you’ll have to wait a couple of weeks. The first poll is released almost around the time of Week 0 action.

In fact, the preseason AP Top 25 comes out on Aug. 14 at 12 p.m. ET.

Until Aug. 15 at noon, every poll you see is just expectation and nothing else. It’s just fans and media members giving their best predictions.

My guess at the No. 1 team in the country when the first poll comes out in a couple of weeks? Georgia. I think the Bulldogs are the best team in college football until proven otherwise. And no one has proven otherwise in two years.

Tune in on Aug. 14 to see where everyone stands.
