Alabama vaults Texas for No. 1 spot in AP Top 25 poll

With the win over Georgia ranking as the best in college football this season, Kalen DeBoer’s program takes over the top spot.

On Saturday in Tuscaloosa, the Alabama Crimson Tide took a 28-0 lead early in the second quarter over the Georgia Bulldogs before needing a 75-yard touchdown pass late to recover the lead in a 41-34 win that vaulted the Tide to No. 1 in the AP Top 25 poll released on Saturday, passing the Texas Longhorns.

The combination of an uninspiring 35-13 win by the Horns over the Mississippi State Bulldogs in Austin and Alabama securing the most impressive victory so far this season over the preseason No. 1 team was enough to push Texas down to No. 2 with 19 first-place votes compared to 40 first-place votes for head coach Kalen DeBoer’s program.

Texas won’t have another chance to impress voters until the Oct. 12 matchup in the Cotton Bowl against No. 19 Oklahoma, which moved up two spots after beating Auburn, while Alabama faces its next ranked opponent when the Tide travel to Knoxville to face the No. 4-ranked Volunteers. Texas hosts No. 5 Georgia that weekend in Austin.

Sunday’s AP Poll ends the two weeks the Horns spent atop the poll, the program’s first stint in that position since the final poll of Oct. 2008.
