The 2010 College Football season will open with Alabama sitting ranked in the number one position of the USA Today Coaches Poll. Alabama defends it number one ranking finish in 2009 after beating Texas in the NCAA National Championship game.

The final poll results had the Crimson Tide getting 55 first-place votes out the possible 59 votes available from the American Football Coaches Association panel.

The four remaining first-place votes went to the number 2 ranking team Ohio State Buckeyes. The first-place votes push the Buckeyes ahead in the rankings of Florida at No. 3 and No. 4 Texas.

There are some interesting notes for this years rankings and opening games. No. 5 ranked Boise State will open the 2010 season playing the No. 6 team Virgina Tech.

With TCU getting the No. 7 ranking and the No. 5 ranked Boise State, they hold the highest preseason rankings for conference schools who do not recieve automatic bids to the BCS games. The first time ever since the Bowl Championship Series system was put into place in 1998. Prior to this years poll, no such school had opened the season ranked higher than 16th.

The Crimson Tide face a tough schedule even with the returning running back Heisman Trophey winner Mark Ingram. Alabama is scheduled to play Penn State ranked No. 14, Arkansas ranked No. 19 and the No. 4 Florida Gators all within the first five weeks.

It should be noted that Southern California is ineligible for the poll due to the banning from bowl games this season from NCAA sanctions.
