Yep, sorry, I mistyped. I meant to say UK was ranked as high as #2 during that season. My bad

The highest Kentucky got in the AP is #6; Alabama highest #2.

Alabama played and beat the #1 (USC), #18 (LSU), & #9 (Ohio State) during the season (ranked when played). Bama's only loss was to a 9-3 Nebraska team.

Kentucky played and beat the #4 (Penn State), & #16 (LSU) teams during the season (ranked when played). Kentucky's only loss was to a 5-6 Baylor team.

In 1977, #5 Notre Dame beat the #1 team and jumped #2 Alabama in the final AP poll.
