The preseason Coaches Poll was released Thursday, and four Big Ten teams land in the season's first ranking.

Ohio State, the 2016 Fiesta Bowl champ, paces the Big Ten, at No. 5, behind No. 1 Alabama, No. 2 Clemson, No. 3 Oklahoma and No. 4 Florida State.

Michigan, fresh off a 10-win season in Jim Harbaugh's first season, comes in at No. 8, giving the Big Ten two preseason top 10 teams, while reigning Big Ten champ Michigan State (No. 11) and 2015 Big Ten West champ Iowa (No. 15) round out the Big Ten contingent.

Wisconsin, Northwestern, Nebraska and Indiana all are receiving votes.
