The University of Alabama football team is up to No. 4 in the latest Associated Press top 25 college football poll after easily disposing of Western Kentucky in Kalen DeBoer's first game replacing Nick Saban.

Alabama, which opened the season at No. 5 in the country, dominated the Hilltoppers 63-0 on Saturday.

Oregon's lackluster performance against Idaho resulted in the Ducks' fall from No. 3 to No. 7. As a result, Texas moved up a spot to No. 3, Alabama moved up to No. 4, and Notre Dame moved up two spots to No. 5, leapfrogging No. 6 Ole Miss.

No other Alabama football teams made the top 25, but Auburn received eight votes in the poll.
