2017 NCAA Division I FBS football rankings
Two human polls and a committee's selections comprised the 2017 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Football Bowl Subdivision football rankings, in addition to various publications' preseason polls. Unlike most sports, college football's governing body, the NCAA, does not bestow a national championship, instead that title is bestowed by one or more different polling agencies. There are two main weekly polls that begin in the preseason—the AP Poll and the Coaches' Poll. One additional poll, the College Football Playoff ranking, is released midway through the season after the ninth week.Legend
