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.
