The Alabama Crimson Tide looked absolutely dominant in a 51-14 Week 1 beatdown of the Louisville Cardinals on Saturday night.

Even if coach Nick Saban seemed grumpy about it, it was a great game, and with QB Tua Tagovailoa at the helm, this looks like another elite Alabama squad.

In fact, following the Week 1 action, six FOX Sports experts updated their College Football Playoff selections, and five of them picked the Tide as the national champions:

The only holdout was former NFL coach Dave Wannstedt, who still has Clemson penciled in as his champion (though he does have the Tide in the No. 2 spot).

Will that change after Week 2 action? We’ll have to wait and see how this weekend’s action plays out.
