1. Alabama: Another blowout win

Although the Crimson Tide got off to a slow immediate start, there was never really any doubt on what the end result would look like. It gave up a big touchdown pass from Ole Miss quarterback, Jordan Ta’amu that went for 75 yards but the Crimson Tide quickly responded and scored on their next possession.

However, on their second drive, Alabama fumbled and gave Ole Miss the ball inside Tide territory. From that point on, Alabama looked to be back to normal.

Alabama defeated the Ole Miss rebels, 62-7. The game got so out of hand, ESPN switched over to a different game before the SEC matchup had ended. Alabama has out-scored its opponents 170-28 on the young season.

The Crimson Tide remain No. 1 in the rankings for now but hosts a hungry Texas A&M team next week. The Aggies gave Clemson a run for their money in Week 2 and will be looking to do the same to Alabama.

Where the rest of college football appears slightly volatile, Alabama looks steadily strong.
