The latest college football polls still have Alabama as the team to beat.
The AP Poll and the Coaches Poll have nearly the exact same top ten. The top ten for the AP is:
1) Alabama
2) Penn State
3) Georgia
4) TCU
5) Wisconsin
6) Ohio State
7) Clemson
8) Miami
9) Notre Dame
10) Oklahoma
The top ten in the Coaches Poll is:
1) Alabama
2) Penn State
3) Georgia
4) TCU
5) Wisconsin
6) Ohio State
7) Clemson
8) Miami
9) Oklahoma
10) Notre Dame
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but the Big Ten’s domination of the top ten this year has been incredible. They’re the only conference who has consistently had at least three teams in the top 10. The SEC has saved a little bit of face by at least getting Georgia in the poll.
It wasn’t a good look when the only team from the conference was Alabama. Not exactly a convincing argument for the conference that everybody loves to call the best in football (it’s not).
The big question now is whether or not Penn State will jump Alabama with a win against Ohio State. That might literally cause a revolt in Alabama.
