Where Alabama Football is Ranked After Beating Ole Miss

It was a crazy weekend of college football as more teams entered conference play and six ranked vs. ranked matchups across the country, including Alabama's game against Ole Miss.

Alabama found itself in an unfamiliar position in the polls last week after a lackluster performance against USF. The Crimson Tide dropped out of the top-10 in the AP Poll for the first time since 2015.

But in the second half of Alabama's win against Ole Miss Saturday, Alabama looked more like Alabama. Will that result in upward movement in the national rankings?

The Crimson Tide moves up one spot in both the Coaches (No. 11) and AP Poll (No. 12.) and remains the highest-ranked one-loss team in the Coaches Poll. Notre Dame is ahead of Alabama in the AP Poll after losing to Ohio State Saturday.

There are currently seven SEC teams in the top-25.
