How AP Poll first-place votes for Alabama and Georgia shifted between preseason and Week 2 polls

Alabama and Georgia both blasted their Week 1 opponents out of the water.
The Crimson Tide blanked the Utah State Aggies while the defending National Champs did pretty much the same against No. 11 Oregon, 49-3. Outscoring opponents 104-3 is… pretty good!
Georgia’s win was enough to close the first-place vote gap between the two in the eyes of an AP voter. See for yourself below:

Ask non-Alabama or Georgia fans who should be No. 1 after the week and you’ll likely get answers close to 50/50 with a slight lean to Alabama. The two are head and shoulder above the rest of the competition in college football right now.
Let’s see if the gap closes any more in the coming weeks.
