The Longhorns received 29 of 55 first-place votes and finish just nine poll points ahead of the Crimson Tide. It is the first No. 1 appearance for Texas in the coaches poll since Oct. 26, 2008.

The Georgia Bulldogs fell four spots in the US LBM Coaches Poll. Georgia lost in a wild 41-34 game to the Alabama Crimson Tide. Georgia, who was previously No. 1, is now ranked No. 5.

Every time the Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs get together it is appointment television. The Tide have dominated the series winning nine of the last ten, but they always come down to the thinnest of margins with last night being the latest case.
