Alabama's stay at No. 1 was fleeting, but if the College Football Playoff selection committee were meeting today, the Tide's fall might not be as far as you would expect after their stunning loss to Vanderbilt, which was a 22.5-point underdog.
The reality is this would be quite the conundrum in the committee meeting room and require a significant conversation: How much does the win against a top-five Georgia team outweigh a bad loss to unranked, two-loss Vanderbilt? Alabama is now a complex character, with the best win in the country and one of the worst losses.
