US LBM Partners with USA TODAY Sports and AFCA to Sponsor Coaches Poll

US LBM, a leading distributor of specialty building materials, has made a groundbreaking move by partnering with USA TODAY Sports and the American Football Coaches Association to sponsor the Coaches Poll. This partnership will see the weekly ranking renamed as the US LBM Coaches Poll until 2026.

The president and CEO of US LBM, L.T. Gibson, expressed his excitement about the collaboration, highlighting the shared values of teamwork, leadership, and community building between the company and college football. US LBM, known for providing a wide range of building products, will also be presenting the US LBM AFCA Coaches Trophy to the top-ranked Football Bowl Subdivision team at the end of the season.

In addition to sponsoring the Coaches Poll, US LBM will be taking the iconic AFCA Coaches’ Trophy on a national tour of schools and stadiums starting in 2024. This move aims to further engage fans and celebrate the achievements of college football teams across the country.

The Coaches Poll, a staple in college football for over 25 years, is eagerly anticipated by fans and teams alike. With the 2023 preseason poll already released, featuring Georgia at the top spot, excitement is building for the upcoming regular season rankings.

The first Top 25 of the regular season is set to be unveiled on September 5, following the conclusion of the Week 1 games. This partnership between US LBM, USA TODAY Sports, and the AFCA is sure to enhance the college football experience for fans and players alike for years to come.
