Did Alabama Move Up in the Polls Following Auburn Win?

The rankings are out after the end of the regular season, giving the Crimson Tide just one more chance to move up before the playoff and bowls.

Alabama football is running out of time to be in the top four when the College Football Playoff committee makes its selections for the semifinals. Although the Crimson Tide pulled off a dramatic victory at Auburn on Saturday, most of the other top teams won as well. 

However, Alabama has the best chance to move up if it can find a way to beat No. 1 Georgia in the SEC Championship Game.
