No one can argue at this point about which team is number one in college football. It is without a doubt the Alabama Crimson Tide. They easily have the best offensive line in the nation led by center Barrett Jones (Sr. 6-5 302, no sacks allowed) and the rest of the line is loaded with definite future NFL talent. The Tide are currently 25th overall in rushing with 217.2 yards per...

C.J. Mosley probably doesn't have the most memorable defensive play of the game remembered by those who saw Alabama defeat Missouri, 42-14, in Columbia Saturday. That would probably go to one of the defensive backs, Vinnie Sunseri or HaHa Clinton-Dix, who got interceptions off tips. Or maybe defensive lineman LaMichael Fanning for his slam dunk of a Tigers running back.
Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron's response to today's report that he tore his meniscus against Missouri last weekend? "Rumors are rumors...I feel good. Ready to go."
Whether Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron has a slightly torn meniscus or not, he practiced Tuesday and was not limited in any way. However, he was clearly limping in between drills.
Alabama head coach Nick Saban wouldn't say if he's suspended defensive end LaMichael Fanning for his body slam tackle of a Missouri player last week, but explained Alabama is handling the matter "internally."

The BCS Standings first were implemented in 1998, and while they carry much controversy, they play a large part in which two teams play for the BCS Championship. With the release of the first BCS Rankings in 2012, history is on the side of the Alabama Crimson Tide and Florida Gators, who are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the first poll that was revealed last night.
Like the BCS rankings...
Alabama saw three more key players go down with injuries this weekend on the road in a rainy Columbia, Mo. But AJ McCarron, Eddie Lacy and Christion Jones are expected to be OK, per head coach Nick Saban.
