The huge Week 5 showdown between Georgia and Alabama went the Crimson Tide’s way in a wild fourth quarter and finish. Alabama built a 21-0 first quarter lead, but lost it inside the final three minutes. A 75-yard touchdown strike from new Heisman Trophy favorite Jalen Milroe to Ryan Williams seconds later put ‘Bama back on top and they held on for a 41-34 win. That victory also moved Alabama to No. 1 in this week’s AP Top 25 poll followed by Texas, Ohio State, Tennessee and Georgia as fans follow the watch and wager action more closely with the games ahead deciding the 12-team college football playoff.
But beyond SEC dominance and the Big Ten taking 12 of the top thirteen spots in this week’s Top 25 poll, UNLV entered the AP Top 25 for the first time in program history. It’s a two-year turnaround for a LAS LAS Vegas program that was one of the worst in high school football in decades, and which remains in the Mountain West like five other schools, adding No. 21 Boise State, leaves the MWC for the new Pac 12 in 2026.
