The Florida football team ended its season ranked in the top-ten.
The final AP poll released early Tuesday morning has the Gators (11-2) sitting at No. 9.
Alabama
(13-1) was voted national champion by The Associated Press for the
ninth time, more than any other program in college football, after
routing Notre Dame 42-14 on Monday night.
Notre Dame, No. 1 coming into the BCS championship, dropped to No. 4.
The
Tide entered the title game with as many AP titles as the Fighting
Irish, and emphatically broke the tie for first. It's Alabama's second
straight title and third in four years. The only other team to win three
AP titles in four seasons was Notre Dame from 1946-49.
Oregon
(12-1) finished second, and undefeated Ohio State (12-0), banned from
the postseason because of NCAA sanctions was third. Georgia and Texas
A&M tied for fifth.
