It's not that he doesn't see the value in the coaches poll, and for that matter, the Associated Press Top 25, but since neither are used to help determine the national champion anymore, they've lost their luster in his eyes.

The Texas Longhorns have earned the No. 1 position on the Preseason AP Poll, but head coach Steve Sarkisian doesn't believe his team has been impacted by the ranking. They will continue practicing and preparing for their Week 1 matchup against Ohio State.

Eleven months after his firing at USC, Alabama head coach Nick Saban brought on Sarkisian as an offensive analyst for the Crimson Tide. It was only a few months before he was back coaching, though. He took over as offensive coordinator on an interim basis after Lane Kiffin left for a job at Florida Atlantic.
