College football is here, which means debate over the top 25 rankings is back in full force.
With most Week 1 games complete — outside of a top-tier Sunday matchup between No. 12 LSU and No. 23 USC and a Monday ACC matchup between No. 10 Florida State and Boston College — the rankings are set for an update heading into Week 2 of the season.
There's also likely to be a shift in the top 25.

It took only one game for the 2024 college football season to produce its first upset, as Georgia Tech downed No. 10 Florida State 24-21 in a Week 0 game in Dublin. The remainder of the top-25 teams in action through Weeks 0 and 1 produced blowouts, though No. 7 Notre Dame outlasted No. 20 Texas A&M 23-13 while No. 1 Georgia shellacked No. 14 Clemson 34-3.
There were a couple of close calls elsewhere in the top 25: No. 3 Oregon managed to outlast FCS opponent Idaho 24-14 in a game that saw the Vandals cut the lead to 17-14 late in the fourth quarter. Elsewhere, Sherrone Moore-led Michigan held off Fresno State 30-10 in a game that was much closer than the score indicated.
How those games and more impact the latest top 25 polls remains to be seen.
Here's when both the US LBM Coaches Poll and AP Top 25 release ahead of Week 2 of the college football season:

When do college football top 25 polls come out for Week 2?
Both major college football polls — the Coaches Poll and AP Top 25 — will release on Tuesday following Monday night's Labor Day game between the Seminoles and Eagles.
Typically, both the Coaches and AP polls releases every Sunday. However, the release is delayed after Week 1 because of games being played Sunday and Monday night.
