‘Bama still No. 1 Top 25 college poll

crimsontidefbUNDATED (AP) — Alabama remains the No. 1 team in The Associated Press football poll following the Crimson Tide’s 38-10 win over Western Kentucky on Saturday.

The Tide picked up 56 of 61 first-place votes and will carry a 2-0 record into next weekend’s SEC opener against Mississippi. Florida State received four first-place votes to move up a notch to second, followed by Ohio State and Michigan. Clemson dropped three places to fifth after a close call against Troy.

Houston is sixth, followed by Stanford, Washington, Wisconsin and Louisville.

Georgia dropped from ninth to 16th after beating FCS Nicholls by just 26-24. Oklahoma State fell out of the poll following its controversial loss to Central Michigan, a setback in which the officials erroneously gave the ball to the Chippewas on what became a game-winning final play.
