   especially as, apparently, it was passed by four other teams that also aren't

   I suppose if Alabama gets absolutely crushed by Georgia, they might fall below   
   those teams.  But #9 is currently Missouri, and they lost to Georgia as well.    
   I feel like since Alabama had one loss in the regular season and is now   
   playing against the #1    
   team, and the four teams below Alabama all already have two losses and don't   
   play this weekend that Alabama is really at their floor.
