ATHENS - Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs pushed Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide out of the No. 1 spot in college football the second time this season.
It is the second time this season the Bulldogs have taken the No. 1 spot from Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide. This time came after Georgia’s total destruction of Auburn - a 42-10 win in Athens.
Meanwhile the Crimson Tide dropped to No. 3 after a final-play win over Texas A&M at home. The 24-20 win over the Aggies kept the Tide from losing for the first time this season. Ohio State, which pounded Michigan State 49-20 in East Lansing, moved up to No. 2.
All three programs have their fair share of first-place votes in the poll. UGA leads the way with 32. The Buckeyes have 20 first-place votes. Alabama, which took 25 top votes a week ago, now has only 11.
