For almost 80 years, the Associated Press (AP) has been running a poll to determine the best college football teams. Each week, a panel of 61 sports writers and broadcasters cast their vote, and the top 25 teams are selected based on a simple point system.
As you watch the games, you might be thinking of sending your child to one of the schools with the best teams. Michigan State, perhaps? Or has your son or daughter been sporting a Florida Gators jersey since they could walk? Since a football scholarship might not be in everyone’s future, we’ve listed the tuition prices of the schools that made up the AP Top 25 Poll in week eight (source: U.S. News and World Report).
