Additionally, Gibbs was named second-team all-ACC as a specialist and third-team as a running back. - Georgia Tech Football

  Alabama will head into the postseason the same way it started the regular season: No. 1 in the nation. The Crimson Tide reclaimed the top spot in The Associated Press college football poll on Sunday after beating previously top-ranked Georgia. Defending national champion Alabama, which was No. 1 for the first six weeks of this season in the AP Top 25 presented by Regions Bank, jumped three spots after dominating Saturday's Southeastern Conference title game. Alabama received 50 of 62 first-place votes from the media panel. The Bulldogs fell to No. 3.

In between, Michigan was No. 2 for a second straight week after winning the Big Ten Conference championship for the first time since 2004. The Wolverines received 9 first-place votes. Cincinnati slipped a spot to No. 4, though it is only four points behind Georgia and received three first-place votes. The Bearcats are the only remaining unbeaten FBS team in the country. The College Football Playoff field was to be set later Sunday, with those same teams expected to hold the top four spots. - AP College Football

  12/04/21 - *Bryce YoungJr/2023, Alabama, 5-10, 204 (DS#2 QB) + More +

  Bryce Young stunningly carved up the nation's top-rated defense, giving Nick Saban and Alabama a shot at another national championship. Young threw for three touchdowns and ran for another as the fourth-ranked Crimson Tide rolled over No. 1 Georgia 41-24 in the Southeastern Conference championship game Saturday, a result that likely sends both powerhouse programs to the four-team College Football Playoff. Young set SEC championship records with 421 yards passing and 461 yards total offense.

Georgia (12-1, No. 1 CFP) cruised through the regular season, barely challenged and a unanimous choice as the nation's No. 1 team for the past two months. The Bulldogs boasted a fearsome defensive unit that had allowed only 6.9 points a game. Young made them look like a scout team, surely bolstering his Heisman Trophy chances as well as moving on to an even bigger game on the final day of 2021. The playoff field will be announced Sunday, with the semifinals set for the Orange and Cotton bowls on Dec. 31. Alabama (12-1, No. 3 CFP) had six offensive scoring drives - five covering at least 75 yards, the other 62 - and finished with a staggering 536 yards against a team that was giving up just under 231 per game. - Alabama/AP College Football

  Georgia Tech running back Jahmyr Gibbs, who finished third in the nation in all-purpose yards, announced plans on Monday to enter the transfer portal. Gibbs made the announcement on his Twitter account. "After a long and hard process and talks with my family, I have decided to enter the transfer portal," Gibbs wrote, adding "I have loved my time here at Georgia Tech." Gibbs said he has made "life long friends" with teammates and coaches, including running backs coach Tashard Choice. “Thank y'all for believing in me and showing me nothing but love through the good and bad times." Gibbs also thanked Georgia Tech fans for their support. Gibbs made the announcement two days after Georgia Tech completed a 3-9 season with a 45-0 loss to No. 1 Georgia. Gibbs ran for only 1 yard on two carries before suffering an undisclosed injury that prevented him from returning in the second half. - AP College Football

  11/27/21 - *John Metchie IIIJr/2022, Alabama, 5-11, 189 (DS#12 WR) + More +

  John Metchie caught a scoring pass from Bryce Young in the fourth overtime to give No. 3 Alabama a 24-22 comeback victory over rival Auburn on Saturday, rescuing the Crimson Tide's national title hopes. It was the first overtime in the Iron Bowl. Freshman Kool-Aid McKinstry tipped away T.J. Finley's pass in the final OT and Young hit Metchie just as he did in the previous one. Alabama (11-1, 7-1 Southeastern Conference) moves on to face No. 1 Georgia in the league championship game with its College Football Playoff hopes on the line. The Tigers (6-6, 3-5) dropped their fourth straight game after smothering Young and the Tide's prolific offense most of the way. Young capped a 97-yard drive with a 28-yard touchdown to freshman Ja'Corey Brooks - his third catch and first touchdown this season - with 24 seconds left in regulation.

Young converted a fourth-and-7 to Jahleel Billingsley, followed by two incompletions under pressure for an offense that had been held in check for 59 minutes. The teams traded touchdowns and field goals in the first overtime and both delivered scoring passes after lining up from the 3. The Tigers had been trying to win their third straight Iron Bowl at Jordan-Hare Stadium, and nearly pulled it off. Alabama was without two of its top offensive players in the overtime periods. Tailback Brian Robinson was on the sideline with an apparent leg injury sustained earlier in the game. Star receiver Jameson Williams was ejected for targeting on punt coverage in the first half. Bottled up most of the game, Young finished 25 of 51 for 317 yards and two touchdowns with an interception. Metchie caught 13 passes for 150 passes. - Alabama/AP College Football

  Alabama's Bryce Young set the national season high for passing yards in a game with 559 against Arkansas, the most since Central Florida's Dillon Gabriel threw for 601 against Memphis in October 2020. Young became the first Crimson Tide player to throw for 500 in a game. The previous high was 484 by Scott Hunter in 1969. - AP College Football

With the win, the Crimson Tide improved to 10-1, 8-1 in the SEC and earned a spot in the league's title game on Dec. 4. Notes: Henry To'o To'o earns Walter Camp National Defensive Player of Week honors for the second time this season (Oct. 17) and the 19th Alabama honoree since 2004. - The Walter Camp Football Foundation

  Bryce Young passed for more yards than any Alabama quarterback ever had in a game. The second-ranked Crimson Tide needed that kind of performance - and every timely deep ball to Jameson Williams, too. Young passed for a school-record 559 yards and five touchdowns and No. 2 Alabama clinched a spot in the Southeastern Conference championship game with a 42-35 victory Saturday over No. 21 Arkansas. The Tide (10-1, 7-1, No. 2 CFP) won its 15th consecutive game against the Razorbacks (7-4, 3-4), thanks largely to the Young-to-Williams deep connection that continues to be the ultimate offensive bailout.

Alabama set up a date with No. 1 Georgia in Atlanta on Dec. 4 after a visit to rival Auburn. "We left a lot of points on the board where we could have put the game away," Tide coach Nick Saban said. "And defensively, we gave up a couple of big plays but the big thing was they were like 10 of 19 on third and fourth down so when we had opportunities to get off the field we didn't get off the field." This one wasn't settled until Arkansas's onside kick went out of bounds with 1:02 left. The Razorbacks had stayed alive with Raheim Sanders' 17-yard touchdown catch from K.J. Jefferson, but took nearly five minutes to get there. Young completed 31 of 40 passes to keep himself squarely in the Heisman Trophy conversation, hitting Williams for a perfect strike for a 79-yarder in double coverage and flipping the ball to Christian Leary for another touchdown when he appeared set to run. It was the second-most passing yards in SEC history, behind Mississippi State's K.J. Costello, who threw for 623 yards against LSU last season. Williams caught eight passes for 190 yards with touchdowns of 79, 32 and 40 yards. - Alabama/AP College Football

  11/14/21 - *Will Anderson Jr.Jr/2023, Alabama, 6-4, 253 (DS#1 DE) + More +

  Alabama jumped Cincinnati to No. 2 behind Georgia in The Associated Press college football poll on Sunday and Oklahoma dropped eight spots to No. 12 after losing for the first time this season. Georgia is a unanimous No. 1 in the AP Top 25 presented by Regions Bank for the sixth consecutive week and the Southeastern Conference has the top two teams in the poll for the sixth time this season. Alabama and Georgia were flip-flopped at Nos. 1 and 2 for five weeks in September and early October.

The switch from Cincinnati to Alabama at No. 2 was more about the Bearcats than the Crimson Tide, which closed the gap on UC to four points last week. Alabama took care of business against overmatched New Mexico State on Saturday. No surprise there. Cincinnati remained unbeaten after winning at South Florida 45-28 on Friday night. It was the fourth straight week the Bearcats played a team with a losing record and found themselves in a competitive game in the second half. That tipped a few more voters to drop Cincinnati. Behind the Bearcats, No. 4 Oregon, No. 5 Ohio State, No. 6 Notre Dame, No. 7 Michigan State, No. 8 Michigan and No. 9 Oklahoma State all moved up one spot after Oklahoma tumbled. - AP College Football

  For 44 seconds, No. 3 Alabama actually was trailing New Mexico State. It didn't take long for Bryce Young, Jameson Williams and the Crimson Tide to change that situation dramatically. Down 3-0 late in the first quarter, Young threw a 50-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open Williams and Alabama went on to romp 59-3. "I really challenged the team this week," Alabama coach Nick Saban said. "I told them it was kind of Judgment Day for us. We've been a little inconsistent. "We don't look at the scoreboard. It shouldn't affect how we play. An opponent is faceless. It's all about how we play," he said. Young passed for 270 yards and five touchdowns, including three to Williams, and completed 21 of 23 passes in just over a half for the Tide (9-1, No. 2 CFP). Alabama rattled off seven touchdowns in 20 minutes for a 49-3 halftime lead over the Aggies (1-9).

Young became the first Alabama quarterback to complete his first 13 passes in a game, playing only one drive into the second half when he lost a fumble in New Mexico State territory. The Aggies just couldn't keep up with the speedy Williams, who caught six passes for 158 yards. He had touchdowns of 50, 32 and 7 yards and had a fourth called back because he stepped out of bounds. Brian Robinson Jr. ran for 99 yards and two touchdowns - including a 63-yarder - all in the first half. Jonah Johnson completed 19 of 30 passes for 129 yards for New Mexico State, which was outgained 587-138. Will Anderson Jr. had two of the Tide's seven sacks. - Alabama/AP College Football

  Alabama was living dangerously, with a missed extra point, a nonexistent running game and a lead repeatedly in jeopardy. The third-ranked Crimson Tide's defense kept turning away heavy underdog LSU late and Bryce Young passed for 302 yards to survive for a 20-14 victory on Saturday night. "Sometimes we have an expectation that we're going to win easy, but sometimes it's not so easy," Alabama coach Nick Saban said. The Crimson Tide (8-1, 5-1 Southeastern Conference, No. 2 CFP) preserved their national championship hopes in a game that was as tight as some meetings when both were nursing such ambitions. The injury-depleted Tigers (4-5, 2-4) and lame-duck coach Ed Orgeron didn't act like 29.5-point underdogs, which they were according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

It certainly wasn't this time for a team left with no margin for error after a loss to No. 13 Texas A&M. It wasn't over until the final play, a Hail Mary that fell incomplete in the end zone. The Tigers came up empty in three fourth-quarter trips into Alabama territory, including that quick venture to the 30 in the final minute. Young, the Heisman Trophy front-runner, completed 24 of 37 passes with a couple of touchdowns, including a 58-yarder to Jameson Williams. Williams caught 10 passes for 160 yards. LSU harried Young all night and held Brian Robinson Jr. to 18 yards on 13 carries for a team that netted 6 yards on the ground thanks largely to sacks. But Alabama returned the favor with Will Anderson Jr. racking up 12 tackles, 1 1/2 sacks and four tackles for loss. "Relentless effort, that's all I can say," Anderson said about the defensive performance. "It was relentless effort." - Alabama/AP College Football
