There’s a new No. 1 team in college football as the Alabama Crimson Tide took over the top spot in the AP Poll. Clemson fell to No. 2 after struggling on the road at North Carolina and only escaping with a win after Coach Mack decided to gamble with a two-point conversion instead of tying the game.
Virginia dropped from No. 18 to No. 23 after its 35-20 loss on the road to No. 10 (now No. 9) Notre Dame. The 5-0 Wake Forest Demon Deacons joined the rankings for the first time this season at No. 22, giving the ACC three ranked teams.
