Alabama is now the top team in the AP Top 25 poll. How will the Crimson Tide and the rest of the nation’s top teams fare this week?
For the fourth time this season, a new team is on top of the AP Top 25 poll. Purdue’s loss at Northwestern on Sunday opened the door for Alabama to climb to the top of the polls for the first time in 20 years.
The Crimson Tide have maintained a perfect record in the SEC despite all the chaos in the college basketball landscape, as evidenced by last week’s action which saw a litany of upsets shake up the Top 10 once again. Read on to find out how Alabama and the rest of this week’s Top 25 teams will do with our weekly predictions for games involving the nation’s best teams.
