TCU Ranked 14th in 2018 Week 3 Amway Coaches Poll

The Amway Coaches Poll is conducted weekly throughout the regular season, using a panel of head coaches at FBS schools. The panel is chosen by random draw, conference by conference plus independents, from a pool of coaches who have indicated to the American Football Coaches Association their willingness to participate. Each coach submits a Top 25 with a first-place vote worth 25 points, second place 24, and so on down to one point for 25th. Access the poll: here
