On Sunday afternoon, the USA Today Coaches Poll for Week 2 gave us an idea of the college landscape moving forward.
As we have come to expect in college football, Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide sit atop the poll with an overwhelming majority of the first-place votes — 58 out of a possible 60.
Sitting behind the Crimson Tide is defending national champion Clemson, which received the other two first-place nods.
Oklahoma rose to No. 3 after a dominant performance in Columbus, while the USC Trojans and Penn State round out the top five after their wins over Stanford and Pitt, respectively.
This week’s biggest riser was the TCU Horned Frogs, who jumped up six spots to reach No. 20. The Ohio State Buckeyes, meanwhile, are heading the wrong direction, falling seven spots to No. 9 for the biggest drop in the poll this week. Notre Dame was the only team to fall out of the top 25 after losing to Georgia at home.
