weeks earlier, Dareus was arrested in his native Alaba

New York, NY - Alabama is the new top-ranked team in college football, according to the latest Associated Press poll, and by a very slim margin. The 11-1 Crimson Tide, already No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings, surpassed undefeated Florida State in the media voting after another narrow escape by the Seminoles on Saturday. Alabama, which rallied for a 55-44 win over Auburn on Saturday in the annual Iron Bowl, received 25 first-place votes and a total of 1,426 points from a nationwide media panel. Florida State, after a 24-19 win over Florida extended its winning streak to 28, has 29 first-place votes but only 1,423 total points. Oregon picked up the remaining five first-place votes and 1,391 points to remain third. TCU jumped two spots into fourth, leaping over Baylor, which remained fifth after a close finish against Texas Tech. Ohio State, which lost quarterback J.T. Barrett for the remainder of the season because of a fractured ankle, moved up one spot into sixth and was followed by Michigan State, Arizona, Kansas State and Mississippi State. Arizona rose four places from 12th following its win over Arizona State and Mississippi State dropped six spots from fourth after a loss to Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl. The second 10 consists of Wisconsin, Georgia Tech, Ole Miss, Missouri, Georgia, UCLA, Arizona State, Oklahoma, Clemson and Auburn. Georgia tumbled seven spots from eighth after a home loss to Georgia Tech and UCLA also dropped seven spots from ninth after a loss to Stanford. Louisville, Boise State, LSU, Utah and Nebraska are the last five teams ranked this week. LSU, Utah and Nebraska all returned to the poll after being ranked previously. The Huskers are back in on the same day they fired coach Bo Pelini. Marshall, which had its undefeated season stopped in a 67-66 overtime loss to Western Kentucky, fell out from 19th, while Colorado State and Minnesota also dropped out after losing on Saturday. Conference championships and the Big 12 finales are featured next week, starting Friday when Arizona takes on Oregon for the Pac-12 title. On Saturday, Alabama meets Missouri in the SEC, Florida State battles Georgia Tech in the ACC and Ohio State squares off against Wisconsin in the Big Ten. Baylor, TCU and Kansas are all still alive in the Big 12, which does not have a championship game. Baylor hosts Kansas State and TCU will welcome a 2-9 Iowa State to Fort Worth.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Bills defensive tackle Kyle Williams had a few cautionary words of advice for Marcell Dareus, in welcoming his teammate back to practice Tuesday. Its time, Williams said, Dareus realized he has put his young and promising career in jeopardy after being charged in two separate arrests last month involving drug possession and a car accident. "Im hoping that this is kind of a watershed moment for him, because hes at a pivotal point," Williams said after Dareus reported for the start of the Bills three-day mandatory minicamp. "Hopefully, its to a point where its kind of an epiphany, and he comes alive and turns the corner and does his best." Williams, a team captain, is taking a tough-love approach with Dareus, a player hes spent the past three years mentoring. "I think hes heard (advice) from a lot of different levels, whether it be from his teammates or coaches, and Im sure the front office," Williams said. "So if you cant get it from those three levels, maybe youre not going to get it." Dareus, the Bills 2011 first-round draft pick, returned to practice for the first time since he and coach Doug Marrone agreed that the player take two weeks off to sort out his legal problems. Its unclear what Dareus has been doing during his time away. The Bills announced before practice that Dareus will not be made available to reporters this week so that he can focus solely on football. Dareus was escorted off the field by a team official following practice. Hes been off since May 30. Thats when shortly after participating in a voluntary practice, Dareus crashed his 2012 Jaguar into a tree near a busy suburban Buffalo intersection after allegedly racing teammate Jerry Hughes. Dareus was charged with reckless endangerment and ticketed for several traffic violations, including drag-racing. Dareus was scheduled to appear at Hamburg Town court on Tuesday, but that was pushed back to July 1 in part so that he didnt miss practice. Four weeks earlier, Dareus was arrested in his native Alabama and charged with possession of synthetic marijuana aand drug paraphernalia.dddddddddddd Rod Giddens, the attorney representing Dareus in Alabama, said hes still awaiting word from prosecutors as to whether theyll accept a plea deal in which Dareus entered a pre-trial intervention program to have the charges reduced or dismissed. Dareus troubles actually come from the end of last season when he was benched during each of the Bills final two games because he was late for team meetings. General manager Doug Whaley intends to meet with Dareus following the Bills final practice on Thursday, when the team takes a month before opening training camp July 20. "Ill just have a little sit-down with him when we leave, so everybodys on the same page," Whaley told The Associated Press. "The thing right now is hes back focused straight on football. Its great that hes back. And I think he thrives in a situation like this where its all football." On the field, Dareus returned to his familiar starting spot alongside Williams. In one team drill during the non-contact practice, Dareus showed off his power and speed by bullying past guard Kraig Urbik to break up a potential pass. On the next play, Dareus spun off Urbiks block and filled the hole to stop a run. Coach Marrone has stuck by Dareus, while expressing disappointment in saying the player has made "some poor decisions." "I just want to make sure that Im clear that everyone understands that I believe in Marcell, and I will do everything I can to make sure that we can get him on the right track," Marrone said two weeks ago. "Im going to do everything I can to help a 24-year-old man make better decisions."
