MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Alabama has finished the season No. 1 in the AP Top 25 for the 11th time, extending its record by finishing with the program's first perfect season since 2009.
The Crimson Tide was a unanimous No. 1 in the final poll, getting 61 first-place votes, after beating Ohio State 52-24 in the College Football Playoff championship game Monday night.
Alabama started this season in a pandemic No. 2, jumped to No. 1 in early November and finished as major college football's only undefeated team.
"We set this as a goal, to potentially be the greatest team to ever play," Tide quarterback Mac Jones said.
