College Football AP Top 25 Prediction for Week 6

In the day’s college football game, the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide took control of the game early against the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs. Alabama took a 21-0 lead in the first quarter, a lead that grew to 28-0 early in the second quarter. Georgia stormed back thanks to a dominant defensive performance (most of) the second half. Bulldogs quarterback Carson Beck hit receiver Dillon Bell for a 67-yard touchdown, giving Georgia its first lead of the game, 34-33, with 2:31 to play.

But Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe, who had been pressured for most of the second half, got the last laugh. On the first snap of the ensuing offensive possession, Milroe saw freshman phenom wide receiver Ryan Williams face 1-on-1 coverage to his right. He hit Williams before the defender turned around, and Williams did the rest, running the ball 75 yards to put the Crimson Tide back on top.

Georgia had one last chance to tie the game, but Alabama’s Zabien Brown intercepted Beck in the end zone with 43 seconds to play, securing the thrilling victory for the Crimson Tide. This wiped out their biggest comeback win in school history at Georgia.

Alabama’s 41-34 win overshadowed a weekend that included a controversial Friday night with No. 7 Miami’s win over Virginia Tech and an upset in the top 10 as No. 6 Ole Miss at home against unranked Kentucky stood, lost and gave the Wildcats their first win in Oxford since 1978.
