Where Alabama ranks in the national polls ahead of Georgia game
Alabama was off this week, but the Crimson Tide moved down in the national polls.
With Indiana and Texas Tech claiming Week 4 wins over conference foes, Alabama slid two spots to No. 16 in the US LBM Coaches Poll and three spots to No. 17 in the AP Top 25 Poll.
Alabama (2-1) will be back in action on Saturday, September 27, when it travels to Athens, Ga., for a top-20 matchup with No. 3/5 Georgia (3-0). The Bulldogs were also idle in Week 4.
In addition to its highly-anticipated trip to Sanford Stadium, the Tide is set to face six ranked opponents this season — Georgia, Vanderbilt, Missouri, Tennessee, LSU and Oklahoma — including four in a row. Both South Carolina and Auburn fell out of the rankings after losing.
The Alabama-Georgia game is scheduled for a 6:30 p.m. CT kickoff on ABC next Saturday.
