AP Top 25 Sees Every Team Shift as Alabama Falls Outside Top 10
The latest AP Top 25 college football rankings experienced unprecedented shifts, with every team changing positions and Alabama falling out of the top 10.
Birmingham, AL, October 18, 2026 —
The latest AP Top 25 college football rankings featured movement across the entire list: every team changed positions, and Alabama fell out of the top 10. The shift was described as unprecedented, though the available information does not specify what made it so compared with earlier rankings.
Alabama’s fall outside the top 10 was the only individual team movement identified. The specific position the team held before the change, its new ranking, and the other teams’ placements were not provided. The rankings’ release date and the number of positions gained or lost by any team were also not included.
With every team moving, the latest poll differed throughout the Top 25 rather than showing changes limited to a few entries. However, the information provided does not identify the teams that rose or fell, explain the reasons for the movement, or give details about games or other events connected to the rankings.
The reported changes establish the broad shape of the poll update but leave its particulars unclear. Without the full ranking list or further details, the scale of individual moves and the composition of the top 10 beyond Alabama’s departure cannot be determined.
