Sure, it'd be bigger news if Ohio State wasn't No. 1 in a preseason poll, but it's still good to see the Buckeyes' opponents didn't let their hate get the better of them.

Here is the first Coaches Poll of the 2015 season, and it could be a dynamite postseason if these rankings hold true.

The last preseason Coaches Poll No. 1 to win it all was 2004 USC.

Overall, eight SEC teams are listed, compared to three Big Ten teams. Special props to the deluded folks who voted for TCU and Alabama at No. 1 too.
