Nick Saban was back on the Alabama sideline after a COVID-19 scare and a false positive test earlier in the week, and his Crimson Tide are back on top of ESPN's power rankings.
Alabama carved apart a Georgia defense that had been suffocating this season with one explosive play after another and collared the Bulldogs 41-24 on Saturday night in Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Clemson, which decimated Georgia Tech 73-7 behind Trevor Lawrence's five first-half touchdown passes, did nothing to lose the No. 1 spot; it was more that Alabama took down No. 3 Georgia and made it look easy in the second half.
