College football is a sport that has changed a lot over time. The game is continually evolving not only on the field but off it as well. Rule changes and dynasties can come and go, and programs can even change conferences. But while all this change rages on unabated, there's one thing that's held true throughout nearly all of it: We rank everything, including college football coaches.

This has been the case here at CBS Sports for the better part of the last decade, and that time of the offseason has come around once again with our Power Five college football coach rankings sitting front and center. Our rankings include every coach in a Power Five conference as well as Notre Dame.

As for how the rankings are decided, a panel of college football writers from CBS Sports and 247Sports submit ballots and vote. The ballots are compiled, and the rankings are final and irrefutable.

OK, so they aren't irrefutable, that's impossible. Every single voter has their own criteria for ranking coaches. Some value accomplishments on the field above all else, while others may give greater weight to recruiting prowess or the possibility of future success.

There is no right or wrong way to do the rankings, and that's largely what makes the final results so fun. It's also why I spend weeks getting yelled at by fans who believe I'm the only voter in these rankings because my name is in the byline.

While we rank all 65 coaches in the Power Five, we separate the top 25 from the rest. You will see those in this space on Wednesday. So before we unveil the top 25 coaches in the country, let's take a look at those ranked from 65-26.
