All is well in Tuscaloosa following Alabama’s 37-10 win over Middle Tennessee on Saturday.

Entering Week 3, the Crimson Tide remains at No. 2 in the Associated Press Top 25 and No. 2 in the Amway Coaches Poll, both of which were released Sunday.

Alabama remains behind Ohio State in the Coaches Poll and in the AP, just as things were entering Week 2.

The Buckeyes were 38-0 winners over Hawaii in Week 2.

Alabama again received a lone first-place vote in the Coaches Poll.

The Crimson Tide could pick up some No. 1 votes if it is able to impress in Saturday’s meeting with Ole Miss, which is ranked No. 15 in the AP Top 25 and No. 11 in the Coaches Poll.

The Rebels, who have surpassed 70 points in each of their first two games, were the only SEC team to defeat the Crimson Tide in 2014.

After Auburn’s overtime scare against Jacksonville State, the Crimson Tide is the only SEC West team remaining in the Top 10 of either poll.
