College Football Polls Agree on Top Teams in Week 9 image

For the first time in 28 polls, both major college football rankings agree completely. The AP Top 25 and AFCA Coaches polls have identical teams in the top nine slots.

It hasn’t been this way since Week 14 of the 2023 season, when both polls showed the same top 13 teams.

Here’s the undisputed top nine in Week 9.
