AP Top 25: Alabama Back At No. 1 After Rout Of Ole Miss

Alabama is back as the top-ranked team in AP Poll after Clemson's close win over UNC

Alabama claimed the top spot in this week's Associated Press Top 25 college football poll for the first time this season after a blowout win over Ole Miss.

Clemson had been the No. 1 team in the poll for the first five weeks of the season, but struggled to be unranked North Carolina on the road, needing a failed two-point conversion in the final minute to secure the win.

The Crimson Tide are the top-ranked team in the AP Poll for the 119th time and have been No. 1 at some point in 12 straight seasons.

Clemson is No. 2 followed by Georgia, and Ohio State. LSU is fifth, with Oklahoma, Auburn, Wisconsin, Notre Dame and Florida rounding out the Top 10.

SMU is the poll at No. 24, their first appearance in the poll since October 21, 1986.
