Alabama Jumps Past Cincinnati and Into Second in Latest AP Top 25 Poll

Defending champion Alabama has moved into second place over Cincinnati in the latest AP Top 25 Poll following its 59–3 win against New Mexico State.

The Crimson Tide was creeping up on the Bearcats in last week's poll and finally jumped undefeated Cincinnati, whose No. 3 spot remains a stark contrast to its place at No. 7 in last week's College Football Playoff rankings.

Georgia remains the unanimous selection at No. 1 after overcoming an early first-quarter deficit against Tennessee.

Six teams in last week's AP Top 25 lost over the weekend—Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Auburn, NC State, Coastal Carolina and Penn State.
