The Crimson Tide jumped Florida and landed at No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 on Sunday.
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. Florida received the other 20 first-place votes.
Texas is No. 3, followed by Southern California, Cincinnati and Boise State at No. 6. The Broncos dropped a spot.
USC, however, is still absurdly overrated. Number four? Really? They rise after barely escaping the notoriously helpless Irish? Whatevers.
BCS is the only thing that matters now, which is comprised of 1 part Harris, 1 part Coaches Poll, I part Computer BS. Texas has a great chance to be there considering the schedule. We have two on the road and then a dreadful in-state rival left. I do not see UCF or Baylor as much of a threat. Basically if we win out in October I think we have this mother… I am already prepping wife for trip to LA in Jan, I suggest you do the same… Whiskey Pact lives.
Roll freakin’ Tide! Idiot sports columnist here in Charlotte opined that the Lamecocks would beat the tide, and, once again, revealed himself as the idiot he is. But should we be #1? Why, yes, we should!
