The Crimson Tide got 58 of 62 possible first-place votes. Ohio State (No. 2) got three first-place votes and Texas A&M (No. 6) got one.

Here's the top 25 broken down by conference: SEC (6), Pac-12 (5), Big Ten (5), Big 12 (4), ACC (2), plus Louisville, Boise State and Notre Dame.

No huge surprises. USC and Texas are a bit lower than anticipated, and Notre Dame is a bit higher considering they've lost their quarterback.
