Alabama suffered its first loss of the season on the road as Tennessee saw its first win over the Crimson Tide since 2006.

It was inevitable that Alabama would be dropping down in the polls following the loss and on Sunday the AP Poll slated the Crimson Tide as the No. 6 team in the country as the Volunteers shifted up to No. 3.

Despite the loss, Alabama still has a path to win the SEC West and play in the SEC Championship game as it will still play the current first place team, Ole Miss, in the weeks to come.

Below is the full AP Top 25:

1. Georgia
2. Ohio State
3. Tennessee
4. Michigan
5. Clemson
6. Alabama
7. Ole Miss
8. TCU
9. UCLA
10. Oregon
11. Oklahoma State
12. USC
13. Wake Forest
14. Syracuse
15. Utah
