Where Does Alabama Fall in AP, Coaches Poll After 23-21 Loss to Oklahoma?

The Alabama Crimson Tide fell at home on Saturday evening to the then 11th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners, 23-21. The Crimson Tide still has every goal in front of it, including the SEC championship and the College Football Playoff, but the margin for error is now razor-thin, with another loss, either to Auburn in the Iron Bowl or in the SEC championship, potentially eliminating the Crimson Tide from playoff contention.

Alabama's resume includes four wins over opponents ranked at the time of the game, but a loss to unranked Florida State and top-ten Oklahoma.
