Where Alabama ranks in the national polls ahead of the Iron Bowl
Alabama Football stayed put in the national polls after its 56-0 win over Eastern Illinois.
No team ranked ahead of the Crimson Tide lost in Week 13, so Alabama couldn’t move up. The Tide remained 10th in both the US LBM Coaches Poll and AP Top 25 Poll for November 23.
Alabama (9-2, 6-1 SEC) has one regular-season game remaining — a trip to unranked Auburn (5-6, 1-6). If the Tide wins at Jordan-Hare Stadium, it will clinch a spot in the SEC Championship Game. Vanderbilt’s win over Kentucky made it simple for UA — win and go to Atlanta.
The Coaches and AP Polls are irrelevant at this point in the season, however. The fourth edition of the College Football Playoff rankings will be unveiled on Tuesday, November 25 (6 p.m. CT on ESPN). Given the Week 13 results, Alabama isn’t expected to move up there, either.
No. 10 Alabama will travel to Auburn on Saturday, November 29, for a 6:30 p.m. kick (on ABC).
