Earlier this summer the Football Writers Association of America and the National Football Foundation announced the two organizations will continue conducting a weekly college football poll. The Super 16 College Football Poll returns for the 2015 season after being introduced by the organizations in a joint effort last season. The poll has no real value or importance in the landscape of college football, other than to give a few folks around college football’s media scene something to say they participated in, and perhaps add a few page views to the weekly web statistics.
So, who will be the voters for this year’s poll? The names have been revealed today.
