If you have St. Aug this is normal. The St. Aug will defeat them by mid-Spring time, so long as you don't scalp your yard when you mow it.

Poa kicked my arse last year and the yard (Bermuda) looked terrible. It lasted a while too till the mid summer heat killed it. Luckily it's easy to pick by hand but it takes forever. Do pre emergents take care of it?
Yes, if put out at the right time. Poa is about the toughest winter weed to control.

2nd time I have to cut them down in January. I weed eated the hell out of them with the hopes of finding a weed killer that won’t wreak havoc on the rest of my yard Any tips?
I struggled with that last year. Hired Spring Green last summer. After a few months, clover was gone. Then, resurfaced in the exact same spots this winter. Called Spring Green, they came out sprayed and they are gone. Well worth calling them.

FRom what i have read you cant kill poa with post emergent. you have to use pre emergents to prevent it from sprouting.

It’s not easy to kill with post-emergent herbicides but it’s possible. Best control is obtained by spraying it when it’s young and before it develops a seedhead, plus adding a non-ionic surfactant in the herbicide solution. But it goes to seed quickly so one needs to spray quickly as soon as they observe it. Good article on control options, both pre-emergent and post-emergent, of Poa by the UG. Annual Bluegrass Control in Residental Turf
But no question a pre-emergent is the key. My lawn used to be covered with Poa a few years ago, but no longer since I started using Dimension (dithiopyr) and Simazine. My neighbor’s lawn, who doesn’t use pre-emergent, has about 90% coverage with Poa as I type this but they cut the grass in winter so it doesn’t look bad.

I used this stuff a few years ago, and it nuked everything. Its time to do it again though.
