Where Alabama is Ranked After Double-Digit Victory at Mississippi State

Alabama picked up its first SEC road win of the season Saturday night in Starkville with a 40-17 drubbing over Mississippi State.

Did it result in a climb in the polls?

Alabama moved up one spot in both polls, No. 10 in the Coaches Poll and No. 11 in the AP Poll. There are currently seven SEC teams (Georgia, Alabama, Ole Miss, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee and LSU) in the top-25.

Notre Dame is the only one-loss team ranked higher than Alabama in the AP Poll.
