Alabama Football Remains Atop Coaches Poll, AP Poll

There were rearrangements near the top following the outcomes of Saturday's matchups.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — After its 42-21 win to Ole Miss, the Crimson Tide are once again in the top spot in rankings of both the Coaches Poll and AP Poll entering week six.

There was movement within the Top 10 and Top 15, however, particularly after Cincinnati defeated Notre Dame on the road. 

Still, though, the two teams which have displayed themselves as the nation's best, Alabama and Georgia, remain unbeaten and unseated at the top of the Coaches Poll and AP Poll.

Georgia, like Cincinnati, handled its Top 10 matchup with relative ease, defeating Arkansas at home, 37-0, and in the process earning a few more first-place votes than it received last week.

But the Aggies of Texas A&M, once bordering on a Top 5 ranking, not only host the top-ranked Crimson Tide this weekend but do so following a two-game losing streak in defeats to Arkansas and Mississippi State. 

Then there's Oregon, of course, which was No. 3 heading into its week five game at Stanford before falling on the road, 31-24, and all but ending hopes of a first-time Pac-12 representative in the College Football Playoff.

Below are the rankings of both the Coaches Poll and AP Poll Top 25 with first-place votes in parenthesis.
