Alabama<\/a> dropped a dozen spots and reigning national champion Ohio State<\/a> reclaimed the No. 1 ranking in the Coaches Poll on Tuesday following a chaotic Week 1. The Crimson Tide suffered their first season-opening loss since 2001 in a 31-17 setback at Florida State<\/a>, which debuts at No. 19. This is the earliest Alabama has ranked outside the top 10 in the Coaches Poll since 2008.<\/p>\n

In a No. 1 vs. No. 2 showdown, the Buckeyes knocked off preseason favorite Texas<\/a>, 14-7, showing no signs of a national title hangover. Four preseason top-10 teams went down in Week 1, with Clemson<\/a> and Notre Dame<\/a> both losing primetime matchups to ranked opponents in the first full opening weekend of the 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n

LSU<\/a> broke through for its first season-opening win since 2019, while Miami<\/a> and coach Mario Cristobal unveiled a defense that looked vastly improved after being a liability last year. Both climbed into the top 10 in the latest Coaches Poll and positioned themselves to build strong College Football<\/a> Playoff r\u00e9sum\u00e9s early.<\/p>\n

Boise State<\/a> fell out after being thumped at South Florida<\/a>, a blow to the Broncos’ hopes of returning to the CFP as the Group of Six representative. Meanwhile, Oklahoma<\/a> also jumped into the rankings ahead of its Week 2 matchup against Michigan<\/a>.<\/p>\n
