Abstract: Let $K$ be a genus $g$ alternating knot with Alexander polynomial $Delt{a}_K(T)=su{m}_{i=-g}^g{a}_i{T}^i$. We show that if $|a_g|=|a_{g-1}|$, then $K$ is the torus knot $T_{2g+1,pm2}$. This is a special case of the Fox Trapezoidal Conjecture. The proof uses Ozsv'ath and Szab'o's work on alternating knots.
