College Football Top 25 Coaches Poll and ESPN Power Rankings Updated

The 2015 college football regular season is over, and with it comes the final regular-season Coaches Top 25 Poll.

To no surprise, the Clemson Tigers retained their top spot while the Alabama Crimson Tide did get some first-place votes. Both teams were victorious on Conference Championship Saturday, though the Tide were far more impressive in their 29-15 romp of the Florida Gators.

The Michigan State Spartans are also back in the top four following their Big Ten Championship win over the Iowa Hawkeyes. It's been quite a run for MSU after their gut-wrenching loss to 5-7 Nebraska as the Spartans have reeled off wins over Ohio State and Iowa since then to get back into the national title hunt.

Here is the final regular-season Top 25 Coaches Poll:
