There is one elite team in college football. It is the Alabama Crimson Tide. The situation will not change after Notre Dame and Ole Miss finish week one play.
In typical first-game fashion, every other, purportedly elite team, either lost or exposed serious weaknesses. That is not to say the Crimson Tide is the only contender for the 2021 National Championship.
The defending champion, Alabama Crimson Tide, like many other teams, has just one win in the new season. The Tide has a long way to go with another 12 games ahead of another College Football Playoff.
