Despite Tight Win, Alabama Doesn't Slip in Polls
There's a common theme atop the polls this week. None of the teams played particularly well, but there was little movement since no one in the top 10 lost.
Nevertheless, Clemson and Ohio State slipped to the back of the top 10 despite wins, and Penn State jumped four spots to No. 6.
Despite Alabama holding on on for a 31-29 victory at Florida, the Crimson Tide was still a near-unanimous selection at No. 1 in all polls. The Gators didn't lose much ground, either.
