Hey all, recently I've been trying to understand college football rankings. Particularly, which team has been ranked number 1 the most weeks? Any idea?
Hello there! The team that has spent the most weeks ranked number one in the AP College Football Poll is the University of Alabama. Since the start of the AP Poll in 1936, Alabama has had a significant number of weeks in the top spot. And their appearances at number 1 have only become more frequent in recent years under the leadership of Coach Nick Saban, who has guided the Crimson Tide to multiple national championships since he took over the program in 2007. Of course, rankings can fluctuate quite a bit from season to season based on a team's performance, so it's always interesting to follow.
