1. Vanderbilt Stuns Alabama
One week after beating Georgia in one of the best college football games of the past decade, the Alabama Crimson Tide went to Nashville as 24.5-point favorites. Nick Saban said on College Gameday that every game in the SEC was tough, “except for playing Vanderbilt.” The Commodores jumped out to a two-score lead, Alabama battled back to within a field goal, and then Vanderbilt owned the fourth quarter and shocked the Crimson Tide with a 40-35 victory. Vanderbilt students flooded the field, tore down the goalposts, and paraded them through Nashville to the Cumberland River. The 40 points by Vanderbilt were more than Nick Saban’s Alabama teams surrendered to the Commodores in all games between the two schools combined. The Commodores also had more than 42 minutes of possession as they largely controlled both lines of scrimmage.
