Coaches Poll Prediction Week 13: How Far Does Alabama Fall?

NCAAF College Football News, Photos, Stats, Scores, Schedule & Videos...

It took a massive comeback and some tough fights to get there, but nine of the top ten teams in last week’s Coaches Poll won.

But there was one really, really big loss.

Okay, really, it was two of the top 11 teams – Texas and Oklahoma were both tied for No. 10 in last week’s poll – but Oklahoma’s win over then No. 4 Alabama should shake things up among the top teams.

And on the bottom, with Cincinnati and Pitt losing, a few new teams should enter the top 25 in the finishing kick.

What will the Coaches Poll be when it’s released on Sunday? Here’s our best guess.
