Rankings shakeup: Polls have Alabama unanimous No. 1

Who's No. 1?

The University of Alabama football team has been ranked No. 1 at some point of every season since 2008, the longest stretch in college football history.

With Clemson struggling to win at North Carolina on Saturday, that streak reached 12 years.

Alabama received 29 of 61 first-place votes, compared to just 18 for Clemson.

According to the Associated Press, the last time a No. 1 team won and dropped was Ohio State on Nov. 7, 2015, after the Buckeyes beat Minnesota 28-14 at home.

It has happened 74 times previously since the poll started in 1936.

This is the 119th time Alabama has been No. 1, most of any school since the AP poll started in 1936, and the 88th time it has been top-ranked under coach Nick Saban since he took over in 2007.

In the coaches' poll, Alabama was voted first on 29 of the 64 ballots, actually one fewer than Clemson.

However, while the Tigers retained 30 first-place votes, they were demoted down to sixth by one voter, seventh by another and ninth by a third.

Here's how the polls have it:
