USA Today released its US LBM Coaches Poll preseason ranking on Monday and Georgia is up at the top of the list.

The panel, which is made up of Division I coaches, voted Georgia as the preseason No. 4 team. Texas received the most points and first-place votes for the No. 1 preseason slot.

Georgia Tech received votes, but not enough to make the top 25.

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart and head coach Brent Key are both on the voting panel this year. Smart, Key and the other coaches will submit their top 25 ballot every week. A first-place vote is worth 25 points, with the points trickling down for the rest of the top 25.
