No matter how much changes in college football, there’s one thing that remains the same: We love ranking things. This sport can’t even have a playoff without a set of rankings to determine who is in the field.
During the season, multiple polls rank teams even though those rankings have no say in anything! It doesn’t matter, we just love to rank stuff.
That includes college football coaches, as we’ve done for years here at CBS Sports. While the names we rank may change frequently, our desire to stack all these coaches against one another doesn’t. Nor does our philosophy when it comes to each individual voter putting together their ballot.
The one rule is that the only coaches you can rank are the Power Four coaches and that you have to rank every one of them. Everything else is up to the voter. Do our writers value recruiting chops or schematics? The ability to develop three-stars into four-star or higher production, or just amass the talent and let them figure it out on the field?
Is long-term success more important, or is it what have you done for me lately?
There are no wrong answers here — only results, and here they are. Our CBS Sports and 247Sports experts have weighed in on the Power Four coaches who finished outside our top 25 for 2025.
