Alabama moves back to No. 1 in AP Top 25 after beating Georgia, Michigan at No. 2 in new college football rankings
Championship Week was oddly comforting, and as a result, we don’t see too many controversy-worthy rankings in the final AP Poll of the regular season.
Nick Saban told you this would happen. It’s a point that Kirby Smart seems absolutely dead set on ignoring. You cannot win without an offense. You have to have a good quarterback, and if you have an elite one, you’ve got it made. Defense does not win SEC Championships.
It doesn’t win Big Ten Championships.
It doesn’t win Pac 12 Championships.
It doesn’t win ACC Championships.
It can win you a Big 12 Championship if Oklahoma has an off-year, but that’s about it.
In the wake of Championship Week proving Nick Saban right, again, we have a new pecking order in the AP Poll.

Uncomfortable talk time Dawgs fans. Kirby Smart is overrated as a head coach. That doesn’t mean you should fire him. Not many people can beat Saban. How many times has he shown you that he can’t get the offense right? The man let Justin Fields walk! And at this point, is there any reason to believe that Georgia would do better with another shot at the Tide? Not with their current quarterback situation. No, it’s better to let the Irish take a shot in the Playoff than this Georgia team. Defense can only take you so far. And we just saw how far that is.
