The Crimson Tide did fine with Mac Jones against an overmatched opponent but their ranking going forward is still contingent upon Tua Tagovailoa's health. Still, he's returning to practice this week, which makes me think it isn't a long-term ailment. Alabama get to stay here for now.
The LSU game will obviously decide a lot, but Alabama's offense kept rolling even without Tua and their defense has been steadily improving while their young players gain experience.
Some people may think I have Alabama too low. This will all shake out in a week or two as it is because Alabama plays LSU in a game that finally gives the Tide a marquee opponent.
