After another impressive weekend, Alabama and Notre Dame are the obvious top two teams in the USA TODAY Sports NCAA Re-Rank 1-127 as the regular season turns the calendar to December.
No. 1 Alabama had a smooth Iron Bowl win against Auburn with interim coach Steve Sarkisian in place of Nick Saban, who was unable to spend Saturday with the team after testing positive for COVID-19. The 42-13 victory included another banner day from quarterback Mac Jones, who threw for 302 yards and five touchdowns.
No. 2 Notre Dame turned the tables on North Carolina after a fast-paced first quarter that seemed to play in the Tar Heels' favor.
