This week’s edition of the Coaches’ Football Poll has the same top five as last week…Alabama, Clemson, LSU, Ohio State and Oklahoma. Alabama received 44 first place votes from the panel of 65 coaches. Clemson lost four first place votes from last week and has 10. All four of those first place votes went to Ohio State which doubled its total from four to eight. LSU received the other three first place votes. But the Tigers dropped again in the AP voting with the writers promoting Ohio State to third and voting the Tigers fourth.
