Alabama stands firm at No. 2 in AP Poll after win over ULM
After dropping from No. 1 to No. 2 last week, Alabama was able to hold on to its current position when the latest AP Poll came out on Sunday. The Crimson Tide were 49.5-point favorites over Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday, but they still managed to cover with a final score of 63-7.
Really, there wasn’t any movement in the top 7, but Kentucky did manage to jump Oklahoma State for that No. 8 spot. Once again, the SEC had eight teams land in the top 25, five of which are amongst the top-11 teams. That’s a really strong resume for the conference.
