Nick Saban’s Final Coaches’ Poll Top 25 Ballot Has Been Revealed

by

Alabama won’t be heading to the College Football Playoff this postseason. The Crimson Tide aren’t playing in a New Year’s Six game, either.

Nick Saban’s team, which finished No. 13 in the final College Football Playoff rankings, is playing in the Citrus Bowl against Michigan.

If Alabama would have finished a couple of spots higher in the final playoff rankings, perhaps they’d be playing in the Sugar Bowl or Orange Bowl.

Saban had them ranked high enough in his Coaches’ Poll top 25 ballot. Unlike the playoff committee, he had Alabama all the way at No. 5.

Here’s his final Coaches’ Poll ballot:

1. LSU
2. Ohio State
3. Clemson
4. Oklahoma
5. Alabama
6. Georgia
7. Florida
8. Auburn
9. Oregon
10. Baylor
11. Wisconsin
12. Penn State
13. Utah
14. Michigan
15. Notre Dame
16. Iowa
17. Memphis
18. Minnesota
19. Boise State
20. Appalachian State
21. Southern Cal
22. Cincinnati
23. Oklahoma State
24. Navy
25. Air Force
