Alabama handled business against Wisconsin inside Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday to improve to 2-1 on the season heading into the Crimson Tide's first bye week.

With the 38-14 win over a Power Four opponent, Alabama continued its steady climb in the polls. The Crimson Tide moved up four spots in the Coaches Poll this week and five spots in the AP Top 25 to No. 14. Alabama also moved back into the FWAA Super 16 poll at No. 14.

Overall, it was a strong weekend for the SEC with Alabama getting the win over Wisconsin and Texas A&M picking up a road victory at Notre Dame. The SEC leads all conferences with 12 ranked teams in the Coaches Poll (11 in AP Poll.)

Alabama is the second-highest ranked one-loss team, trailing only Texas. Notre Dame is the only winless team in the rankings.
