So far this season, Alabama has outscored its opponents 128-14 and has shut out teams in back-to-back weeks. There's no question in anyone's mind who the No. 1 team in the country is.

Heading into Week 4, there’s no doubt in anyone’s mind who the No. 1 team in the country is.

Alabama has a strong hold on the top spot for the third week in a row in the AP and USA Today/Coaches’ Polls after annihilating Arkansas 52-0 Saturday.

The Crimson Tide was almost a unanimous No. 1 vote in both polls, receiving 58 out of 60 votes in the AP and 54 of 59 in the Coaches. LSU earned all remaining votes.

The top four teams are the same in both polls—Alabama, LSU, Oregon and Florida State—but AP voters have Georgia at No. 5 while the coaches decided on Oklahoma.
