Where Alabama is ranked in the polls entering Week 13

Alabama moved to 8-2 on the season this past weekend with a dominant 52-7 win over Mercer, an FCS team out of the SoCon.

The win wasn't worth much in terms of building the resume, but because of some other losses around the college football world, the Crimson Tide rose in the polls this week. Kalen DeBoer 's team is now ranked No. 7 in the Coaches Poll for Week 13, with the AP Poll set to release later this afternoon.

At this point in the season, the rankings that truly matter are the ones from the College Football Playoff selection committee, where the Crimson Tide is currently ranked No. 10. The committee's third batch of rankings will be released Tuesday night during ESPN's rankings show, which will air at 6 p.m. CT.

In this week's polls, Alabama is the second highest ranked SEC team, behind No. 3 Texas, and ahead of No. 8 Georgia, No. 9 Ole Miss, No. 11 Tennessee, No. 14 Texas A&M and No. 19 South Carolina.

This week, Alabama hits the road for the final time this regular season to take on Oklahoma in Norman. The game has a 6:30 p.m. CT kickoff time, and will air on ABC.
