Alabama basketball is on the rise once again in this week's AP top college basketball rankings after picking up a second win over the top-ranked team in the country. It's the Crimson Tide's highest ranking in 15 years.

Alabama on Saturday defeated No. 1 Houston and moved up four spots to No. 4 in the nation. The loss dropped the Cougars to No. 5 in the nation.

After losing their first game of the season to unranked Memphis, Auburn fell eight spots to No. 19 in the country. That drop was the most drastic fall in this week's poll.

The Crimson Tide look to stay hot on Tuesday as they host Memphis, while the Tigers square off against Georgia State on Wednesday.
