US LBM is the new sponsor of college football's coaches poll
View Date:2024-12-23 14:45:08
US LBM, one of the nation's leading distributors of specialty building materials, has partnered with USA TODAY Sports and the American Football Coaches Association to sponsor the Coaches Poll. The agreement means the weekly ranking will be called the US LBM Coaches Poll through 2026.
“Teamwork, leadership and building communities are essential to both US LBM and college football, and we are incredibly excited to partner with the American Football Coaches Association and USA TODAY for the weekly US LBM Coaches Poll and to be the presenting sponsor of the National Championship Trophy,” said US LBM president and CEO L.T. Gibson.
US LBM is the largest privately owned full-line specialty merchandiser in the country, providing products such as windows, doors, roofing, siding and cabinetry.
As part of the sponsorship, US LBM will present the US LBM AFCA Coaches Trophy to the Football Bowl Subdivision team that receives the highest point total from the voting panel of FBS head coaches in the final Top 25 of the season. Starting in the 2024 season, the US LBM AFCA Coaches Trophy will be part of a national trophy tour of various schools and stadiums on game days.
For over 25 years, USA TODAY and parent company Gannett Co., Inc., have teamed with the AFCA to provide weekly rankings during the preseason, regular season and postseason. Coaches Poll results are published by USA TODAY Sports online on Sundays and in print on Mondays during the college football season.
“The AFCA and USA TODAY Sports have been producing a weekly Coaches Poll for millions of college football fans across the country,” said AFCA Executive Director Todd Berry. “We are both excited to announce that US LBM, one of the largest building products distributors in the United States, has come on board as title sponsor of our Coaches Poll and the iconic AFCA Coaches’ Trophy. We look forward to this partnership for many great years.”
The 2023 preseason Coaches Poll, released in early August, was led by two-time defending national champion Georgia. The Bulldogs are followed by No. 2 Michigan, No. 3 Alabama and No. 4 Ohio State.
The first Top 25 of the regular season will be released on Tuesday, Sept. 5, after the completion of the five-day Week 1 slate of games.
