AP Top 25 Week 6: Georgia-Alabama Showdown Gets Bigger as Polls Swap Indiana and Tide

AP Top 25 Week 6: Georgia-Alabama Showdown Gets Bigger as Polls Swap Indiana and Tide

The AP Top 25 Poll for Week 6 swapped Indiana and Alabama, turning this week's Georgia vs Alabama game into a No. 2 Bulldogs vs No. 6 Crimson Tide showdown, according to collegefootballnews.com. The exact date and location of the game are not specified in the source.

After weeks of maligned rankings, the source credits the AP Poll for "cleaning things up a bit." The Coaches Poll, by contrast, is called "another hot mess."

The AP got the two big calls right: Ole Miss is ranked ahead of LSU, and after Missouri's blowout win over Florida, the Tigers are ranked ahead of the Gators.

There weren't too many massive moves overall, per the source, but the Indiana-Alabama swap is the headline change. Indiana slid from No. 6 to No. 7 despite a 5-0 record, while Alabama jumped from No. 7 to No. 6 at 5-0.

The swap makes the SEC heavyweight clash "just a bit bigger," the source notes, with both teams carrying undefeated records into the matchup.
