Since the AP Poll began releasing preseason polls in 1950, there has been only one occasion in which a single team was ranked #1 in three straight preseason polls. That was Oklahoma from 1985-1987.

If Alabama is ranked #1 in the preseason AP Poll that will be three consecutive years at #1 for them in the preseason. Just another milestone in this latest incarnation of Alabama dominance.

Not to mention extending Bamas record of being ranked #1 in the AP poll at some point during the season, every year since 2008.

10 straight seasons and counting, previous record was like 6 I believe.

Fixed.

Congrats. Y'all should like, print some shirts, or hang a banner or something. Such a monumental achievement.

In 9 weeks they'll be looking to make AP poll history again, as a #1 falling out of the top 25 after being trounced at home.

When y'all come to our house next year, can y'all make sure you're ranked #1?

Turned out pretty well for us last time.

Thanks!

this honestly shocks me. I'm surprised that of all the big runs teams have made (USC of late and ND of old particularly) that this has only been done once before. Crazy.
