Alabama dominated. Alabama rallied. Alabama held on.
All are true, and all are elements in Kalen DeBoer's Crimson Tide now being the top-ranked team in college football, courtesy their 41-34 victory.
Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss lost a home game to Kentucky, a bit of a signature win for Mark Stoops and Big Blue, which hadn't won against a top-six team since 2007 against then-No. 1 LSU.
How damaging will that loss ultimately prove for the Rebels? Consider they've got consecutive road games against improving South Carolina and LSU, a home tilt against struggling Oklahoma and a road game to Arkansas, which like LSU is always an intense rivalry game.
Additionally, the Rebels then host Georgia -- which figures to be a rather ticked off team going down the stretch two months of this season after its loss at Alabama.
Notre Dame survived an "must-not-lose" contest at home against Louisville, Indiana is in rarified air, Deion Sanders has his Colorado Buffaloes 4-1 and Boise State's for real with Ashton Jeanty running towards Heisman Trophy finalist status.
Alabama's Ryan Williams and Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith are transcendent freshman wideouts.
