Alabama, Ohio State & Georgia Lead 1st Coaches Poll of College Football Season

The first coaches poll of the 2022 college football season is officially out, and familiar programs reside at the top. Alabama received nearly all of the first-place votes in the inaugural poll after losing to Georgia in last year’s National Championship. Ohio state and Georgia raked in a few first-place votes as well. It’s a blend of the traditional powerhouses that round out the top-10. The season is just 18 days away.
