Alabama Football Widens First-Place Lead in Amway Coaches Poll, Unanimous No. 1 in AP Top 25
The University of Alabama football team widened its lead on first place in the latest Amway Coaches Poll that was released on Sunday.
After thrashing Kentucky, 63-3, the Crimson Tide picked up two more first-place votes than last week. Alabama now holds 59 of the 62 first-place votes.
As far as other Southeastern Conference teams rank in the coaches poll, Florida and Texas A&M are at No. 5 and No. 6, respectively. Georgia moved up to No. 10 after squeaking by Mississippi State, 31-24.
Alabama's next opponent, Auburn, saw a slight jump from No. 21 to No. 19. The Tigers defeated Tennessee, 30-17, in their lead-up to next weekend's Iron Bowl meeting.
In the Associated Press Top 25, the Crimson Tide is the unanimous No. 1 team for the first time since December of 2018. Alabama received all 62 first-place votes.
It is the 22nd time in school history that the Crimson Tide is the unanimous No. 1. That is a record for most of any school in the history of the poll.
On Tuesday night, the first College Football Playoff rankings will be released on ESPN.
