There’s a new No. 1 in at least one poll after a weekend full of upsets and close calls among the top teams in the country.
In the latest FWAA/NFF Super 16 Poll, Alabama ascended to the No. 1 spot on Sunday -- supplanting previous top dog Clemson after the Tide rolled Ole Miss and the Tigers struggled to stave off an upset against North Carolina.
Ohio State was another big mover, rising to No. 3 after their blowout win against Nebraska. The Buckeyes were one of seven different teams to garner at least one No. 1 vote (OSU had five all told), along with the aforementioned Alabama and Clemson plus Georgia, LSU, Oklahoma and Auburn.
The SEC led all conferences with five total teams in the top 16, followed by the Big Ten with four. The Big 12 and Pac-12 had two each while the ACC and Mountain West had one each to go with Notre Dame.
As a reminder, CFTalk’s trio of Zach Barnett, Bryan Fischer and Kevin McGuire all have votes in the poll. With that out of the way, here’s the full Super 16:
