Alabama is new leader in NCAA Re-Rank 1-130, followed by Cincinnati

There's a new No. 1 in the final USA TODAY Sports NCAA Re-Rank 1-130 of the regular season.

After being Georgia's property for most of the past few months, the top spot now belongs to Alabama, which beat the Bulldogs 41-24 in the SEC championship game. That loss drops Georgia three spots to No. 4. 

Those two SEC powers sandwich No. 2 Cincinnati, the lone unbeaten team in the Football Bowl Subdivision, and No. 3 Michigan, which beat Iowa to claim the Big Ten.

Several teams made notable jumps in the final Top 25 before the start of bowl play. Baylor comes in at No. 5 after beating Oklahoma State in the Big 12 championship game. Pittsburgh climbed to No. 10 after beating Wake Forest to win the ACC. Utah is up six to No. 12 after beating Oregon for the second time this season.
