After a steady climb, Alabama has reached the
top of the AP poll.
The Crimson Tide jumped Florida and landed at No. 1 in The
Associated Press Top 25.
The unbeaten Gators had been in the top spot since the
preseason, but the Crimson Tide has been gaining ground for weeks
by winning more convincingly than the Gators.
The final surge came after Alabama beat South Carolina 20-6 and
Florida needed a field goal in the waning seconds to beat Arkansas
23-20 at home.
The Crimson Tide, which received 10 first-place votes last week,
got 39 out of 59 from the media panel Sunday. Florida received the
other 20 first-place votes.
Texas is No. 3, followed by Southern California, Cincinnati and
Boise State at No. 6.
