The 2022 college football season is right around the corner, which means it's preseason poll time. The annual preseason Coaches Poll was released on Monday, and Alabama earned the right to enter the season with the No. 1 ranking in one of the two signature college football polls with 1634 overall points and 54 of the 65 first-place votes.

The Crimson Tide enter the season with the reigning Heisman Trophy winner at quarterback in junior Bryce Young, junior edge threat Will Anderson Jr. and a pedigree of success under legendary coach Nick Saban. Ohio State chimes in at the No. 2 spot. Coach Ryan Day's team, led by Heisman Trophy contender C.J. Stroud at quarterback, earned five first-place votes and 1564 overall points.
