Alabama No. 2 in the AP, Harris Polls

The Gumby Poll still has us at No. 3 though.

With a decisive win over Ole Miss in Oxford, Alabama makes the move up to No. 2 in the Associated Press poll.Texas, which had been camping at the slot behind No. 1 Florida all season, fell to No. 3 after a 38-14 victory against Colorado.

And while the Crimson Tide sticks at No. 3 in the USA Today Coaches poll Florida's stranglehold on of the top slot is continuing to erode. After holding a single No. 1 vote last week, Alabama claimed five this week as well as 11 No. 2's.

UPDATE, 4:52 pm: Alabama is now No. 2 in the Harris Poll as well. Point-wise we are dead even with Texas (2,684) but there are 13 first place votes in our favor versus five for the Longhorns. Florida continues to dominate this poll, increasing both it's point total and number of No. 1 votes in the wake of their win over LSU.

What a difference 2 yrs makes

I think this is one of the best defense’s I have ever seen Alabama field. I was nine when the 92 team won the national title and as of right now I think this D is only going to get better. There is still a place in my mind that has kept me from getting too excited considering we are not that far removed from being 6 and 6. or 3 and 8. But after this past Saturday when our defense played balls to the wall, I think those days are dead and gone. Roll tide everybody.

No change really

We still control our own destiny, just like last week. We have to keep winning. Any news on the time for the South Carolina game yet?

Done.

Next order of business, get Todd to heed my words of wisdom and edit the Box Score and Such. Oh, what do I care whether or not the ACC is considered a BCS competition? Forget it, I earned my raise already.

Damn!

…or not the ACC is considered a BCS competition?

So much for that raise.

It looks fairly likely at this point

That if we end the season #1, we’ll have beaten the teams that end up 2, 3, and 4. Has that ever happened before? Of course, odds are that at least one of UF, UT, or VT blows a game before the end of the season and maybe some mid-major takes one of the top four spots, but it’s still pretty impressive (if we’re able to pull it off)
