Where to watch the reveal of the preseason US LBM Coaches Poll

With kickoff for the 2026-27 college football season a mere 26 days away, the preseason US LBM Coaches Poll is set to release this week.

The poll is conducted weekly throughout the regular season using a panel of FBS head coaches. The panel is chosen by random draw from a pool of coaches who notify the American Football Coaches Association that they are willing to participate. To kick off a new season of college football, the first US LBM Coaches Poll will be released on Tuesday.

Indiana, led by head coach Curt Cignetti, claimed the national championship in 2025-26 with an impressive 16-0 overall record and 9-0 mark in conference play. The Hoosiers’ win marked the third time in the last five years in which the Big Ten has boasted a national champion, leaving a bad taste in the mouths of the SEC, including the Texas A&M Aggies, who were eliminated in the first round of the College Football Playoff against the Miami Hurricanes last season.

For this year’s preseason poll, USA TODAY Sports will reveal the coaches’ poll on YouTube with analysis from college football experts Blake Toppmeyer, Matt Hayes, John Brice and Paul Myerberg. The live stream will also include a special guest during the poll reveal.
