The Associated Press released their weekly Top 25 college football poll on Sunday, with the Crimson Tide holding on to their top spot after a bye-week and Auburn falling to number 12 following a 13-24 loss to Florida.
Clemson was again ranked second and Georgia and Ohio State, in extremely rare fashion, actually tied for the third spot in the rankings. LSU rounded out the top five, followed by Oklahoma and Florida.
Auburn dropped from seventh to 12 after the top-10 loss in The Swamp.
Bama received 32 first-place votes and 1503 total points and Clemson garnered 15 first-place votes and 1,433 points. Georgia got three first-place votes and 1,393 points while Ohio State received 10 first-place votes and the same point total.
The last time there was a tie in the top three was September 20, 2015, when TCU and Ole Miss shared third.
After the latest AP poll, Central Florida is unranked for the first time since October 1, 2017. UCF saw its 19-game conference winning streak snapped by Cincinnati on Friday and also lost to a middling Pittsburgh team earlier in the season.
This comes after Yellowhammer News released the first Yellowhammer Power Poll of the year.
