Rankings FAQ
Where can I find 2025 college football rankings / AP Top 25?
Open FantasyHQ at https://fantasyhq.co/cfb-hq/rankings for the 2025 AP Top 25 (Week 3), listing 41 teams. Use the poll chips for AP Top 25, Coaches Poll, and CFP rankings.
What is the difference between AP, Coaches, and CFP rankings?
AP Top 25 is the Associated Press media poll. The Coaches Poll is voted by FBS head coaches. CFP rankings are the College Football Playoff committee’s board that seeds the playoff. FantasyHQ shows all three.
How often are college football rankings updated?
Poll boards refresh when new weekly (or final) results land in the FantasyHQ pipeline. This page was last labeled August 24, 2026.
Is this the same as the CFB player rankings builder?
No. This page is official team polls (AP / Coaches / CFP). The player rankings builder at https://fantasyhq.co/cfb-hq/player-rankings-builder is a custom tool for ranking players yourself.
