Where did that bring you? Back to me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When Nick Saban retired, many wondered whether <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"263\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/college-football\/team\/alabama-crimson-tide-college-football\/\">Alabama<\/a> would take a step back. It had to, right? The greatest coach in the history of the sport was gone. Surely the days of the Alabama dynasty had finally ended. <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"259\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/college-football\/team\/georgia-bulldogs-college-football\/\">Georgia<\/a> had emerged as the new Alabama.<\/p>\n<p>But like Thanos, Bama may be inevitable. After <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/5802119\/2024\/09\/28\/alabama-georgia-score-highlights-takeaways\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a 41-34 win against Georgia<\/a>, the Tide have returned to the No. 1 spot in the Athletic 134 rankings.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s Alabama\u2019s first time atop these rankings since the 2022 preseason. That year, Georgia took over one week in after plastering <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"243\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/college-football\/team\/oregon-ducks-college-football\/\">Oregon<\/a>, and the Tide haven\u2019t been back to No. 1 since then.<\/p>\n<p>But it turns out when you let head coach Kalen DeBoer scheme up some stuff for elite-level talent, he can do a lot. <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"rbDmj7hJciQ6JUGn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/college-football\/player\/jalen-milroe-rbDmj7hJciQ6JUGn\/\">Jalen Milroe<\/a> looks like the best quarterback in the country. After the wild swings of the Game of the Year, I don\u2019t exactly know how to feel about both teams. Alabama had a 28-0 lead and also blew a 28-0 lead. Georgia overcame that deficit on the road. But in the end, it\u2019s the best win of the season for any team, so Alabama moves up from No. 7 to No. 1.<\/p>\n<p>Georgia falls to No. 3, and not solely because of this result. The Week 1 blowout of <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"165\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/college-football\/team\/clemson-tigers-college-football\/\">Clemson<\/a> looks better with each week.
