Alabama sits atop the Associated Press Top 25 preseason poll released Monday, with defending national champion Georgia at No. 3, giving the SEC three teams in the top six.
The Crimson Tide received 54 first-place votes, well ahead of No. 2 Ohio State's six votes for the top spot. The Bulldogs received three first-place votes.
Clemson and Notre Dame round out the top five.
Texas AM begins the 2022 season ranked No. 6, followed by Utah, Michigan, Oklahoma and Baylor.
Alabama opens its season on Sept. 3 at home against Utah State.
But it's two other games that weekend that promise to have an immediate impact on the early-season rankings.

The regular-season slate begins in earnest on Aug. 27.
