Where Alabama Ranks in Polls After Road Win at Missouri

Alabama picked up its third straight ranked win with the 27-24 victory over Missouri on Saturday in Columbia. With the win, plus a little chaos across the country over the weekend, the Crimson Tide moved up two spots in the coaches poll to No. 6.

The schedule doesn’t lighten up at all as Alabama returns home to Bryant-Denny Stadium to host No. 11 Tennessee this Saturday evening.

As a reminder, the polls have no effect on a team’s College Football Playoff chances. Only the CFP ranking determines who gets in the playoff. The first round of CFP rankings will be released on Nov. 4.

This story will be updated when the AP poll is released.
