Alabama football fell to No. 13 in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 after an uninspiring 26-10 loss to Tennessee on Saturday.
Chaos ensued throughout college football as no team remained in the same ranking as last week, while five of last week’s top seven lost, including No. 1 Georgia and No. 7 Texas. Saturday marked the first time Alabama, Georgia and Texas lost on the same day since 1996.
Miami took over the No. 1 spot in the rankings after Georgia fell to unranked Auburn 27-24, while Texas fell to unranked Florida by the same score. Notre Dame dropped to No. 4 after a close loss on the road to BYU, which climbed six spots to No. 2, its highest ranking since 1984.
“You know you gotta bring your A-game every weekend,” head coach Kalen DeBoer said of Saturday’s upsets. “You gotta have great preparation, and you gotta make some plays when it really matters to change the game.”
Georgia slipped to No. 5, while the Longhorns dropped 12 spots to No. 19 after a second straight season with a loss to an unranked Gators team.
The Crimson Tide will have little margin for error going forward after suffering its second loss of the year on Saturday. It will host Texas A&M for Homecoming next Saturday before the team’s traditional open date on Halloween.
A potential College Football Playoff elimination game awaits to open November, with the Crimson Tide set to travel to Baton Rouge and face No. 18 LSU. The Tigers jumped four spots after dishing out a 31-0 drubbing to Mississippi State, which fell out of the Top 25 from the No. 16 spot.
“I just told them, ‘We gotta get back to the drawing board, get our swagger back that we played with early in the season,’” said defensive back Bray Hubbard Saturday. “I said, ‘We’re all in this together. We’re one.’ So, we take a loss together; we take a win together. Monday, we gotta see what we did right [and] see what we did wrong, and we gotta get it corrected, because we still got a stretch of games here coming up. And we gotta win.”
The Crimson Tide and Aggies will face off inside Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium next Saturday. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. CT and can be seen on ABC.
