Alabama will remain in the No. 1 spot in the latest edition of the Amway Coaches Poll, powered by USA TODAY Sports. Despite already have its open week last Saturday, the Crimson Tide did not play a football game in Week 11.

Alabama’s opponent, the LSU Tigers, had a small COVID-19 breakout that caused some uncertainty on when — or if — the game will be played this season. That means that the Crimson Tide has now gone two consecutive weeks without taking the field.

Still, that didn’t stop them from remaining in the top spot in the Amway Coaches Poll. And it looks like things will get back on track in Week 12 and Alabama will be able to take on the Kentucky Wildcats.

Here are the complete poll results from Week 11 of college football.
