Alabama continues its march toward the top of the AP Top 25 College Football Poll, rising two places to No. 4 after its 37-20 victory over Tennessee.
This is Alabama’s highest ranking of the season, following its fourth consecutive win over a ranked team. The Crimson Tide is 4-0 so far in the SEC.
Elsewhere, Vanderbilt is now a top-10 team for the first time since 1947 in the poll that got a nearly complete makeover after a weekend when nine Top 25 teams lost.
Ohio State was the only team to hold its spot, remaining No. 1 for an eighth straight week after shutting out Wisconsin 34-0 on the road.
Beyond the Buckeyes, significant revision was required with four top-10 teams losing in the same week for a third time this season. Nine Top 25 losing teams were the most since Week 5 in 2022
