Week 1 of the college football slate was a perfect baptism into the season. We saw Oregon take a commanding lead over Auburn only to watch it slip away in the final seconds. We saw Louisville put Notre Dame on upset alert Monday evening, only to get boat raced in the end. And we saw No. 1 Clemson and No. 2 Alabama flex their blue-blood muscles in scoring a combined 94 points while allowing a combined 17 in season-opening wins.

The Tigers' 52-14 win on Thursday over Georgia Tech was enough to keep them atop the latest Coaches Poll released Tuesday, one spot ahead of the Crimson Tide. Clemson received 58 first-place votes from the coaches, while Alabama picked up the remaining six. Rounding out the rest of the top five in the same order as the first Coaches Poll is Georgia, Oklahoma and Ohio State.
