Week 2 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.
The Alabama Crimson Tide continue to dominate the college football world, earning 59 first-place votes and the No. 1 ranking, while Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State, and Oklahoma round out the top five. Clemson picked up three first-place votes, while the Buckeyes earned one.
