Week 3 was about just getting through it for most of the highly ranked teams.No. 1 Georgia, facing its first opponent with even a prayer to challenge the two-time defending champs, needed a half to find a groove against South Carolina.No. 3 Florida State fought through early lethargy and second-half sloppiness at Boston College to hang on for dear life.No. 7 Penn State needed five takeaways to win ugly at Illinois.And then there was No. 10 Alabama, which went through two quarterbacks and needed almost three quarters just to get into the end zone at South Florida. The Tide was unrecognizable, even in victory.As unsettling as last week’s loss at home to No. 4 Texas might have felt for Alabama fans, this had to feel just as ominous.Next week has the makings of being a huge one in college football, with as many as six matchups of ranked teams.The immediate question is: Will Alabama be one of them?The road trip to Tampa, Florida, seemed weird for the Crimson Tide, but Alabama recruits a ...

Logano took his car to pit road, but once it was determined his damage ne...
