  "account": "Week 8 has commenced in the 2026 college football season, and the Coaches Poll has unveiled the latest rankings. A record five teams in the top seven incurred setbacks this past weekend. The poll, compiled by a panel of head coaches from Football Bowl Subdivision schools, provides a comprehensive overview of how each team fares against the rest. Miami, Ohio State, BYU, Georgia, and Texas Tech are among the teams that found themselves on the losing side. The Coaches Poll is conducted weekly during the regular season, with each coach's first-place vote worth 25 points, gradually decreasing to one point for 25th place.",
