The AP Top 25 College Football Poll is the weekly ranking system used to rank teams throughout the regular season. The poll has more than 60 members of the Associated Press cast their votes for where teams should be ranked for the upcoming slate of college football games.

After the coaches tabbed the Longhorns as the nation's top team last week, Texas was voted as the No. 1 team in the first AP Poll of the campaign released Monday. Since 2000, only USC and Alabama have won the national championship after starting the season ranked first.
