College football preseason Coaches Poll: Texas edges out Big Ten giants for No. 1
The SEC landed nine teams in the USA Today 2025 preseason college football Coaches Poll to lead all conferences, with Texas holding off two Big Ten powerhouses to open as the preseason No. 1. The Longhorns, which finished No. 3 last year after a College Football Playoff semifinal exit, earned 28 first-place votes, just ahead of defending national champion Ohio State (20 first-place votes) and Penn State (14 first-place votes). The rankings set up a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup on Aug. 30, with Texas visiting Ohio State in Columbus as the marquee game of college football's first full weekend. Advertisement Other SEC teams joining the Longhorns in the inaugural 2025 poll include Georgia (No. 4), Alabama (No. 8), LSU (No. 9), South Carolina (No. 13), Ole Miss (No. 15), Florida (No. 17), Tennessee (No. 18) and Texas A&M (tied for 21st). The Buckeyes and Nittany Lions opened No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, to pace the Big Ten's six ranked squads. Also ranked in the top 25 were Oregon (No. 7), Illinois (No. 12), Michigan (No. 14) and Indiana (No. 19). CFP runner-up Notre Dame opens at No. 5, while defending ACC champion Clemson (No. 6) and Miami (No. 10) round out the top 10. SMU (16) joined the Tigers and Hurricanes as ranked ACC teams. Five Big 12 teams landed in the top 25, led by defending champion Arizona State (No. 11). Kansas State (No. 20), Iowa State (tied for 21st), BYU (No. 23) and Texas Tech (No. 24) joined the Sun Devils. The Wildcats and Cyclones open the season on Aug. 23 in Dublin, Ireland. CFP participant Boise State (No. 25) was only the member of a Group of 5 conference to make the top 25. Season-opening polls often reflect the previous year's final ranking and amplify program perception. Last year, only 12 of the preseason top 25 finished in the final Coaches Poll. Last year, Georgia opened the season at No. 1 and finished sixth in the final poll. Ohio State, which won the CFP title, was ranked No. 2. Among the top 25 teams not qualifying for a bowl game were Florida State (started 10th, finished 2-10). Utah (started 13th, finished 5-7), Oklahoma State (started 18th, went 0-9 in the Big 12), Arizona (started 21st, 4-8) and Kansas (started 24th, went 5-7). Here's the full top 25:

Minnesota Lynx's Cheryl Reeve named WNBA's best coach in July
The Minnesota Lynx are atop the WNBA standings by several games, and the woman in charge of the whole operation is getting her dues. The WNBA announced Monday that Cheryl Reeve is the league's Coach of the Month for July. The Lynx went 9-3 in July, capping the month with a 100-93 win over the New York Liberty, the WNBA's No. 2 team, in their first matchup since last year's finals. Minnesota averaged 87.8 points a game last month and allowed 78.5 points per game on defense — if maintained over a full season, both would top every other team in the league. Reeve is also coaching the league's leading MVP candidate, Napheesa Collier, to a career year. In July, Collier averaged 23.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.9 blocks a night. The superstar left Saturday's 53-point win over the Las Vegas Aces with an ankle injury, but Reeve said it's too soon to tell how severely she's hurt. Reeve, who also serves as the team's president of basketball operations, was named both Coach and Basketball Executive of the Year last season. The Lynx are 24-5 as of Monday.
