What’s Old is New: Alabama Returns to No. 1

AP top 4 matches CFP rankings as postseason showdowns are set.

By Doug Segrest | December 6, 2021

The final regular season AP Top 25 presented by Regions Bank ended the way it began – with Alabama back on top.

Preseason No. 1 Alabama shocked Georgia 41-24 Saturday in the SEC Championship Game, snapping the Bulldogs’ 16-game winning streak in record-setting fashion. The win was the 10th all-time against an AP No. 1 for the Crimson Tide, another college football record.

Alabama wasn’t a unanimous choice. Michigan remained No. 2 and siphoned off votes at the top after winning the Big Ten in convincing fashion. Georgia slipped to third and Cincinnati was ranked fourth – the same order as the College Football Playoff selection committee.

Thank you for following the AP Top 25 presented by Regions Bank this season on Doing More Today.
