Week 1 of the 2018 college football season is in the books, so it is time to take a look at the new Amway Coaches Poll. The Coaches Poll, which is not part of the College Football Playoff selection committee’s formula to determine the four teams that will compete for the College Football Playoff National Championship, is voted on by 65 FBS head coaches.
Sitting in the top spot — as expected — is the Alabama Crimson Tide, receiving 59 first-place votes.
No. 2 Clemson received three first-place votes, while No. 4 Ohio State received the remaining nod for the top spot. Rounding out the top five was No. 3 Georgia and No. 5 Oklahoma. This week, the LSU vs. Miami game had the biggest impact on the rankings. Following the Tigers’ shellacking of the Hurricanes, LSU jumped nine spots to No. 15 while Miami fell 13 places to No. 21.
