Alabama’s Rise to No. 1 in AP Top 25 Poll #

Alabama’s victory over Georgia has propelled them to the top spot in the AP Top 25 poll for the first time in over a year. This change comes despite a near-collapse after building a significant lead.

Key Points: #

Alabama’s win against Georgia, despite almost losing a 28-0 lead, was enough to secure the No. 1 ranking.
Georgia dropped to No. 5 in the poll, which is considered a reasonable fall given the close nature of the loss to a highly-ranked team.
Historical context: Several teams have lost regular-season top-five matchups and still gone on to win the national title, leaving hope for Georgia’s championship aspirations.
Alabama continues to dominate in appearances at No. 1 in the AP poll, significantly ahead of other top programs.
UNLV enters the AP poll for the first time, tied at No. 25 with Texas A&M.
Indiana is ranked No. 23, marking their first appearance since the 2021 preseason. They’re 5-0 for the first time since 1967.
The Big 12 rankings remain confusing, with Iowa State and BYU leading the conference at No. 16 and No. 17 respectively.
Utah and Ole Miss both suffered upsets, leading to significant drops in the rankings.
The bottom of the Top 25 remains competitive, with several teams vying for spots.
This season has already seen three different teams at No. 1 (Texas, Georgia, and now Alabama), with the potential for more changes in the coming weeks.

The mid-October schedule features several high-profile matchups that could further shake up the rankings, including Ohio State-Oregon, Texas-Oklahoma, Texas-Georgia, and Alabama-Tennessee.
