Alabama holds steady in polls after edging UF
The Tide did not lose any first-place votes in either of Sunday's polls.
Escaping Gainesville with a 31-29 win over Florida did nothing to change voters’ opinion of Alabama as the No. 1 team in the AFCA coaches poll.
Sunday’s edition of the poll saw the top five teams remain the same as last week, with Alabama keeping all 64 of its first-place votes. No. 2 Georgia retained its lone first-place vote in the poll of 65 head coaches.
Florida, which was ranked No. 9 entering Saturday’s game in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, fell three spots to No. 12 in the loss.
Moving up three spots to No. 13 was Ole Miss, which routed Tulane on Saturday and will visit Bryant-Denny Stadium on Oct. 2.
Arkansas continued its steady rise, up six spots to No. 18, while Auburn fell three spots to No. 23 after losing to Penn State.
The Associated Press will be released later Sunday.
