NCAA College Football Top 25 Nov. 23-28, 2020
This is the 80th time in the history of the AP poll, which dates back to 1936, that there has been a unanimous No. 1.
AP Top 25 Poll
1. Alabama
2. Notre Dame
3. Ohio State
4. Clemson
5. Texas A&M
6. Florida
7. Cincinnati
8. BYU
9. Miami
10. Oregon
11. Northwestern
12. Indiana
13. Georgia
14. Oklahoma
15. Iowa State
16. Coastal Carolina
17. Marshall
18. Wisconsin
19. USC
20. Texas
21. Oklahoma State
22. Auburn
23. Louisiana
24. Tulsa
25. North Carolina
It was a rare occurrence in the early days of the poll, when college football was more regional. From 1936 to 1966, only twice was there a unanimous No. 1.
USC was a unanimous No. 1 twice during the 1967 season, but not until the 1990s did the unanimous No. 1 become a common occurrence.
From 1992, when Alabama finished the season by getting all the first-place votes in the poll, to last season, when LSU did the same, the AP Top 25 had a unanimous No. 1 on 67 occasions.
The unanimous No. 1 for Alabama is its 22nd overall, most of any school, and its 21st since 2012.
IN-N-OUT
Four ranked teams lost Saturday, but three of those defeats came against other ranked teams. Because of that, just one team fell out of the rankings.
Liberty took its first loss of the season, falling 15-14 at NC State, and is no longer ranked.
Replacing the Flames was North Carolina, which moved back into the rankings at No. 25.
CONFERENCE CALL
SEC -- 5 (Nos. 1, 5, 6, 13, 22)
ACC -- 4 (Nos. 2, 4, 10, 25)
Big Ten -- 4 (Nos. 3, 11, 12, 18)
Big 12 -- 4 (Nos. 14, 15, 20, 21)
American -- 2 (Nos. 7, 24)
Pac-12 -- 2 (Nos. 9, 19)
Sun Belt -- 2 (Nos. 16, 23)
Conference USA -- 1 (No. 17)
Independents -- 1 (No. 8)
RANKED vs. RANKED
No. 22 Auburn at No. 1 Alabama. The 24th Iron Bowl that will match ranked teams.
No. 2 Notre Dame at No. 25 North Carolina. The Tar Heels have almost no chance to win the ACC with two losses already, but they will have a say on who does with this game and Miami still to come.
No. 15 Iowa State at No. 20 Texas. The Cyclones can clinch a spot in the Big 12 championship game, while the Longhorns would be in prime position with a victory.
