As if college football coaches don't already have enough to do in preparation for the 2015 season, nearly half of those in the FBS ranks also must determine who will be ranked in the Amway Coaches' Poll preseason Top 25.

All told, 62 coaches will vote in this year's weekly rankings, which no longer have a bearing on the national title race as they did during the BCS era but nevertheless still provide something to debate about each week. That starts with the preseason poll, which like most before-the-season lists and rankings is based as much on how things went last year as it is on what is expected this fall.

Since we don't know which coaches are voting this year—that gets released along with the initial poll—we can only speculate as to what their thinking will be in how they rank teams at the start of the 2015 season. We've already projected what we think the Associated Press preseason Top 25 will look like, and now it's the coaches' turn to have their rankings predicted.

Please take note: This isn't how Bleacher Report would rank the teams heading into 2015—we'll have our own preseason poll come out just before the season begins—but rather how we expect those who are on the Amway panel will vote. With that in mind, take a look at our projections, and then give us your thoughts in the comments section.
