Alabama goes down and suffers in the AP Top 25 poll.

Mike Zarrilli

For the first time this season, Alabama is not No. 1 on the AP Top 25 poll.

Oregon is the new No. 1 after spending time at the No. 2 spot. Kansas State is second, Notre Dame is third and Alabama shifts to No. 4 after losing to Texas A&M on Saturday.

Georgia rounds out the top five.

There are only four undefeated teams remaining: Oregon, Kansas State, Notre Dame and Ohio State, which ranks sixth on the AP Top 25 poll.

No local teams earned votes in this week's poll.
