The first USA Today Amway coaches poll of the college football season has been released. We've got all 25 teams listed below in order, with the number of first place votes for each team listed. This is only the preseason poll, so the final poll will likely look much different.
Unsurprisingly, the Alabama Crimson Tide start the season as the top ranked team in the country after receiving 49 first-place votes. Defending national champion Clemson has the second most first-place votes with seven, but only rank fifth.
The Washington State Cougars and Colorado Buffaloes were the first two teams to miss out, sitting 10 and 37 points behind #25 Utah, respectively.
