The Alabama Crimson Tide lost a heartbreaker to the Texas A&M Aggies in Week 6 on Saturday.

With the Alabama Crimson Tide losing to the Texas A&M Aggies on a last-second field goal by the score of 41-38, there will be a new No. 1 team in the AP Top 25 poll.

That team will be the undefeated Georgia Bulldogs. While Alabama has plenty of time to accomplish everything it wants for the rest of the season, the Crimson Tide now has no margin for error. The good news for them is they are not going to plummet down the rankings even after this tough loss to a two-loss Texas A&M team. So how far are the Crimson Tide going to fall this week?

Even though the previously unbeaten Penn State Nittany Lions also lost by one score, expect the Crimson Tide to be the highest-ranked one-loss team in the nation. The top four teams will probably be Georgia, Iowa, Cincinnati and Oklahoma in that order. From there, you can probably anticipate Alabama coming in at No. 5 just ahead of Penn State. Alabama falls, but not that far.

Despite the tough loss, the Crimson Tide have earned the right to be the No. 5 team for Week 7.
