Reigning National Champion Alabama Crimson Tide enters the 2021 season in the same positioning they finished the 2020 season in – No.1 in the Top 25 AP. With the college football season starting in less than two weeks, Alabama is clearly projected as the nation’s best team once again, receiving 47 of 62 first-place votes in the preseason college football rankings.
It’s no surprise that the national powers of Oklahoma, Clemson, Ohio State and Georgia round out the rest of the top five given their frequent college football playoff appearances. Texas A&M and Oregon, two teams with very high hopes heading into the season, are ranked 8th and 11th respectively.
