Associated Press 2020 Week 6 FBS College Football Poll

 

Access the poll: here

The Associated Press began its college football poll on October 19, 1936. It is the longest-running poll of those that award national titles at the end of the season. The preseason poll was started in 1950. A panel of 60 sports writers and broadcasters from around the country votes on the poll weekly. The AP Top 25 is determined by a simple points system based on how each voter ranks the teams. A team receives 25 points for each first- place vote, 24 for second place and so on through to the 25th team, which receives one point. The rankings are set by listing the point totals from highest to lowest.

 

For the 2020 season, only teams scheduled to play in the fall are eligible for the Associated Press (AP) FBS College Football Poll.
