The latest 2022 college football AP Poll has been released at the conclusion of Week 9. The top-eight teams all remain the same, except Tennessee moves up to tie Ohio State for the No. 2 position. The Crimson Tide remains at No. 6, but the team still controls its destiny to the playoffs by winning out.
The Tide didn’t expect to see much movement this week as the team was on a bye. The Tide likely took advantage of the time off as November will be no easy task.
The Tide opens the month with a trip to No. 15 LSU for a primetime showdown in Death Valley. After that Alabama travels to Oxford to take on former offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin and his No. 11 ranked Rebels. Both LSU and Ole Miss will be playing the Tide coming off of a bye week which is worth noting.
Following these ranked showdowns Alabama will host Austin Peay and a struggling Auburn team, but nothing is guaranteed in the Iron Bowl.
With a few opportunities for key wins in the next month, Alabama will be hunting down one of those top four playoff spots. Georgia and Tennessee also meet next weekend in what will be a very revealing game.
