10 Takeaways from Week 6: Chaos takes over college football as multiple top-10 teams go down

It was a wild whirlwind of a day, highlighted by Vanderbilt’s first-ever win over an AP No. 1 and redemption for a century’s worth of frustrating losses to Alabama — which was commemorated by the goalpost’s ceremonial dump-off in the Cumberland River.
