I can't find anything for the Coaches poll so far but here's the AP.

1966: finished #3 despite being the only untied and undefeated team in the country.
1978: national champs.
2010: finished #10.
2013: finished #7.


Yep, it's very rare for a team to start and finish #1, but Alabama's results when starting #1 are actually quite good compared to most programs. Top 10 every time, with one national championship and arguably a deserved another.
