Happy Monday, everyone. Alabama is no longer a consensus no. 1 team as Georgia overtook them in the AP poll. The Tide fell only one spot, however, and kept the top spot in the Coaches’ Poll. I’d have rather seen them fall a bit further personally.
After the narrow escape in Austin, the question is whether we all were wrong about Texas, Alabama, or both. My suspicion is that it’s both, at least at this stage of the season, but there is room for this Alabama team to grow. While it may not have been quite as awful as it seemed, the passing game was by far the most glaring concern.
