Alabama leads, top five of USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll gets shuffled after Week 1

The first full week of actual results in college football led to a few changes in the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll despite relatively few upsets.

Alabama remains No. 1. The Crimson Tide received 57 of 65 first-place votes cast this week following a shutout of Utah State. Georgia, the defending national champion that very much looked the part in a demolition of Oregon, moves up to No. 2.

The Bulldogs retain the six top votes they received in the preseason and nudge ahead of Ohio State, despite the Buckeyes earning a hard-fought victory against then-No.
