- Alabama. Nick Saban: The King stays The King. Saban is not only the best coach in college football today, he's the best college football coach of all time.
- Georgia. Kirby Smart: Smart won a national title at Georgia, something that most Dawgs fans had begun to think was impossible. It took longer than hoped but felt inevitable, and it finally happened in Indianapolis earlier this year.
- Clemson. Dabo Swinney: This is the worst ranking of the year, and it's nothing but recency bias. There are two coaches in the sport today who have won multiple national titles, and Swinney is one of them.

25. Dan Lanning, Oregon
Last year: 48 Record: 10-3 Lowdown: Lanning is another Pac-12 coach on the rise. He led the Ducks to a 10-3 record in his first season, and he kept it together after the 49-3 reality check in the opener against Georgia. The development of transfer quarterback Bo Nix into a Heisman Trophy candidate was a major plus, and the fact offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham isn't too far behind on the rankings after taking the Arizona State job suggests Lanning might have his own coaching tree in the...
24. Mike Norvell, Florida State
Last year: 43 Record: 56-31 (18-16 at Florida State) Lowdown:Norvell appeared to be on the hot seat at Florida State, but a 10-win breakthrough in 2022 could be the start of something special. The Seminoles closed last season with a stretch of six wins where they scored 35 points or more. Quarterback Jordan Travis will keep that going in 2023. Norvell has won 10 or more games in three of the last five seasons dating back to his time at Memphis. Sometimes patience if required.
23. Kalen DeBoer, Washington
Last year: 61 Record:23-8 (11-2 at Washington) Lowdown: DeBoer is the highest riser in the top 25, and this is not an over-reaction. DeBoer led the Huskies to a 11-2 record and had one of the nation's hottest teams in the FBS with a seven-game win streak to end 2022. He's developed outstanding quarterbacks at Fresno State in Jake Haener and now Michael Penix Jr. at Washington. DeBoer had a 67-3 record at Sioux Falls at the NAIA level before working his way up the FBS ladder.
