Alabama and Auburn top our SEC Power Rankings prior to their first showdown of the season, but which of the Iron Bowl rivals is No. 1?

Auburn got blitzed at home by Florida, Duke got dropped on the road at Clemson, then Alabama held off Arkansas for the road win. But in both the AP poll and these Power Rankings, Auburn keeps its place at the top.

The Alabama head coach spoke to the media minutes before the AP poll was released, where the Crimson Tide was one spot behind Auburn. So Oats knew Alabama was No. 1 in the coaches poll, but unaware of where his team would be ranked by the AP voters.
