Alabama could become wire-to-wire AP No. 1

3675082


UNDATED (AP) _ Alabama heads into the postseason with a chance to become the

third wire-to-wire champion in the history of The Associated Press college

football poll.



The Crimson Tide was No. 1 in the final AP Top 25 of the regular season Sunday,

just as it has been since the preseason. Ohio State is No. 2, Clemson is No. 3

and Washington is No. 4.



Penn State was fifth, followed by Michigan, Oklahoma and Wisconsin. Oklahoma

State fell two spots to No. 13 after its loss to Oklahoma last weekend.



The Crimson Tide enters the postseason looking to win back-to-back

championships and to join Florida State in 1999 and Southern California in 2004

as the only teams to be AP No. 1 from start to finish.



     Alabama would be the 12th team to win two straight AP championships.
