Looks like the coaches are first on the board with the preseason poll hype. Oklahoma, Alabama, Oregon and LSU all garnered some first place votes. The defending champion Auburn Tigers come in at 19th. While that position is better than last season's preseason ranking, it is the lowest slot ever for a national champion since the USA Today poll premiered in 1991.
