Southeastern Conference rivals LSU and Alabama held the top two spots in the Associated Press college football poll after the Crimson Tide jumped past No. 3 Oklahoma and into second.

Alabama’s rise gives the SEC the top two teams in the country for the 10th time in the last four seasons.

The Tide beat Florida 38-10 on Saturday night in Gainesville, then received 12 first-place votes in the media rankings released Sunday.



LSU remained No. 1 for a second straight week, receiving 40 first-place votes and 1,473 points. Alabama had 1,435.

Oklahoma, which started the season No. 1 before slipping last week, got seven first-place votes.

Wisconsin also moved up after a big victory, jumping three spots to No. 4 after a 48-17 win against Nebraska.
