Alabama now at No. 13 in latest AP Poll
Alabama football (2-1) already dropped from No. 10 to 12 in the latest Coaches Poll, which was released earlier on Sunday. Now, the Crimson Tide have dropped even further in the AP Poll. After also checking in at No. 10 in those rankings last week, Nick Saban and company now sit at No. 13 after only beating USF 17-3 on Saturday afternoon.

According to Ralph Russo of the Associated Press, Alabama dropping out of the top 10 snaps a streak of 128 weeks, the second-longest streak in college football history. As Russo points out in the tweet, the last time the Crimson Tide weren’t ranked in the top 10 was back in Sept. of 2015. It’s tough to argue with a second-straight drop in the polls with the way they’ve been playing so far this season.
