There's good news and there's bad news for No. 11 Alabama.
After last week's loss to No. 8 LSU put a crippling dent in any chance of returning to the College Football Playoff, No. 11 Alabama bounced back to beat No. 9 Mississippi 30-24 and avoid the sort of result that would've raised serious alarm bells over the Crimson Tide's precipitous drop out of the top tier of the SEC.
You could've seen the headlines from hours away: Is Alabama done? Is the dynasty over? Where do the Crimson Tide go from here? Is this it for Nick Saban?
