Alabama football rises to No. 1 in the AP poll, but not in the coaches' top 25

Alabama football's thrilling victory over Georgia on Saturday wasn't enough to propel the Crimson Tide to No. 1 in the Coaches Top 25 poll. The Crimson Tide landed in second place behind Texas after the 41:34 win at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

But when the Associated Press media poll dropped later Sunday, it was a different story. Alabama passed the Longhorns and took the top spot.

The Bulldogs were the top-ranked team in the coaches poll prior to Saturday's game. After the loss, in which they trailed 30-7 at halftime before coming back to take the lead over UA but squandering it on a Ryan Williams touchdown, Kirby Smart's group dropped to fifth place, the same spot that she took in the AP poll a few hours later.

Texas became the new No. 1 on the coaching side after defeating Mississippi State. The Longhorns were No. 2 in the coaches poll last week.

Ohio State finished third in the coaches standings after defeating Michigan State on the road. Tennessee was in fourth place, one spot ahead of Georgia, followed by Oregon in sixth and Penn State in seventh.

Miami came in at No. 8, while Missouri came in ninth and Michigan rounded out the top ten. Ole Miss fell six spots to 11th after losing to Kentucky on Saturday in Oxford.

The AP Top 10 reflected the coaches' rankings. However, the Rebels suffered an even steeper decline following the loss, falling to 12th place.

Here are the full coaches and top 25 picks in the AP Poll after Saturday's action.
