As it turns out, the latest Game of the Millennium had little impact on the coaching voting bloc, relatively speaking.
Following Alabama’s seven-point win in College Station Saturday, the Tide, as expected remained No. 1 in the USA Today coaches’ poll in near-unanimous fashion, claiming 61 of the 62 first-place votes.
The good news for Texas A&M is that the loss cost them just three spots in the poll, dropping them slightly from No. 6 to No. 9. In 2012, following their five-point loss to the Aggies in Tuscaloosa, the Tide dropped three spots from No. 1 to No. 4; two months later, Bama was playing for the BCS title.
