AP college football poll: Oct. 12
Alabama's steady rise in the rankings has left the Crimson Tide with a clear view of No. 1 Florida.
Alabama jumped Texas into second-place behind top-ranked Florida in the AP Top 25 on Sunday, giving the Southeastern Conference the Nos. 1 and 2 teams in the country.
The Crimson Tide moved up one spot after rolling over Mississippi 22-3. Texas, which had been No. 2 all season, slipped a spot after sputtering early in a 38-14 victory against Colorado.
No. 4 Virginia Tech, No. 5 Boise State and No. 6 Southern California each moved up one spot.
Other ACC schools in the top 25 are Miami at No. 9 and Georgia Tech at No. 19.
