Alabama Drops Two Spots in AP Top 25 After Arkansas Win
Alabama's sluggish performance against Arkansas didn't go unnoticed by voters of the Associated Press Top 25.
After a game where the Crimson Tide overcame a 7-3 halftime deficit to win 27-14, the team dropped from No. 8 to No. 10 in the newest poll. Alabama remains the highest one-loss team in the poll, but Florida and Texas A&M both moved ahead of them.
Alabama meets the Aggies this Saturday in a game that could ultimately decide the SEC West champion.
