Alabama is coming off its most dominant win of the season. Following a 7-3 first quarter against Kentucky on Saturday, the Crimson Tide ripped off 56 straight points to win 63-3.
The victory puts Alabama’s record at 7-0, and it also helped widen its lead on the top spot in the latest Amway Coaches Poll, powered by USA TODAY Sports. The top 10 remained mostly the same outside of Georgia landing in the No. 10 slot.
With the Iron Bowl looming, Auburn climbed two spots in the rankings from No. 21 to No. 19, which will make the home matchup for the Crimson Tide all that more important.
Here are the complete poll results from Week 12 of college football.
