So how far did the Alabama Crimson Tide drop?

Georgia tightened its hold on No. 1 in The Associated Press college football poll Sunday, with TCU climbing up to No. 4 and Alabama dropping all the way to No. 10.

With the 32-31 loss in overtime at LSU, Alabama fell to its lowest spot in the polls since 2015.

However, Alabama held on to its top-10 ranking and its streak of weeks ranked in the top 10. The Crimson Tide has a streak of 120 straight polls ranked no worse than 10. That is the second longest such streak in the history of AP poll, behind Miami (1985-93).

The next College Football Playoff rankings will be released Tuesday night.
