Alabama moves to No. 1, Clemson drops to fourth

Alabama i s No. 1 i n The Associated Press college football poll for the first time this year, extending its record of consecutive seasons with at least one week on top of the rankings to 13.

Notre Dame moved up two spots to No. 2 on Sunday after upsetting Clemson 47-40 in a dramatic double-overtime game Saturday night. Ohio State remained No. 3. Clemson gave up the top spot for the first time this season and landed at No. 4.

Alabama, which had an open date, received 59 of 62 firstplace votes. Notre Dame, which has its best ranking since it was No. 1 at the end of the 2012 regular season, received two first-place votes. Ohio State got one.

This No. 1 appearance is the 92nd under coach Nick Saban and Alabama's record 123rd overall. Take away Alabama's other No. 1 appearances and just Saban's appearances at No. 1 would rank as the fourth-most in college history behind Ohio State's (105), Oklahoma's (101) and Notre Dame's (98). That's also one more than Southern California (91) has ever had.

Oklahoma moved up a spot to No. 18 after its rout of hapless Kansas. Oklahoma State, which beat Kansas State, remained at No. 14.

Turnover-prone Iowa State rallies past Baylor

Brock Purdy never panicked, and now No. 17 Iowa State can continue its pursuit of a historic season.

The Cyclones' quarterback passed for three touchdowns in the second half after throwing three interceptions in the first, leading the Cyclones to a 38-31 come- from- behind victory Saturday night.

The Cyclones (5-2) are 5-1 in conference play for the first time in the program's 128-year history and are first in the Big 12 by a half-game. Their most recent league championship came in 1912, and it was a shared title.

Breece Hall went over 100 yards rushing for the seventh straight game, finishing with 133 and two touchdowns. He also caught a TD pass.

The Cyclones won for the first time since 2012 when committing four turnovers. Baylor scored its first 24 points off Iowa State turnovers, the last coming when Greg Eisworth muffed a punt.
