The Alabama Crimson Tide stays put in the top spot on the latest USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll after the 44-13 win over the Miami Hurricanes.
In an opening week for college football that had plenty of shocking finishes, close games and massive upsets, the Coaches Poll certainly got the shake up it deserved.
After losing a lot of talent to the NFL, and even some members of the coaching staff, the Crimson Tide remains the team to beat in the nation.
Here’s a look at the full poll.
