Alabama and Clemson swapped spots in this week’s USA TODAY Sports college football re-rank, with the Crimson Tide ascending to No. 1 after another easy win and the Tigers sliding one spot to No. 2 after a close call at Texas A&M.

It’s the first time this has happened in 2018, but it very likely won’t be the last. Even after a narrow win against the Aggies, Clemson looks very much like one of the top teams in college football. Alabama has also looked the part behind quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

This week’s re-rank also saw the Southeastern Conference flex its muscle in the Top 25. In addition to Alabama, there’s No. 3 Auburn, No. 4 Georgia, No. 14 LSU and No. 16 Mississippi State.
