Alabama is, without question, the No. 1 team in the country after surviving Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M in a 49-42 shootout. The only thing that might be standing in the Crimson Tide’s way of a third-straight title is a date with Lousiana State University, but Ole Miss wants something to say about that in two weeks.
It was a tough week for the Big Ten and Big-12 as ranked teams in both conferences lost. The PAC-12 had a good week with several high-profile games that went the conference’s way–the exception being Ohio State defeated California.
