Crimson Tide Rolls To # 1 Spot

30 Nov, 2014

Alabama is No. 1.  The Tide (11-1) took the top spot in the rankings away from undefeated Florida State (12-0) on Sunday in a move that doesn’t happen much in the AP rankings.

The last time an undefeated team was No. 2 behind a team that had lost this late in the season was 1993. Florida State fans will remember that season well. The Seminoles vaulted back into the top spot past No. 2 and unbeaten Nebraska at the conclusion of their regular, despite losing to Notre Dame a few weeks before.

Florida State went on to beat Nebraska in the Orange Bowl and win coach Bobby Bowden’s first national championship.

This Florida State (12-0), which racked up its sixth victory in a one-score game Saturday night against Florida, will try to flip that script and win its second straight national championship under coach Jimbo Fisher.
