With chaos ensuing in the college football world last week with half of the nations Top 10 -- including the Nos. 2, 3, and 4 teams -- all losing, No. 1 Alabama delivered a message as it emerged as the only undefeated team from a Power 5 conference.And that message?The message is when you win, you control your own destiny, Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said. When you dont, you allow someone else to determine what your fates going to be. We have all these teams that lost one game now.Somebody has to decide who gets to do what.Top-ranked Alabama (10-0) hosts Chattanooga (8-2) on Saturday (7 p.m. ET, ESPN2) at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa.Almost, but not quite, overlooked as the upsets of No. 2 Clemson, No. 3 Michigan, No. 4 Ohio State, No. 8 Texas A&M, and No. 9 Auburn rolled in during the afternoon and evening last weekend was that the Crimson Tide clinched the SEC West.The 52-3 rout of Mississippi State coupled with Auburns loss at Georgia left them with a two-game cushion in the standings with only one SEC game left on the card. No matter what happens now, Alabama is a lock to play in the SEC championship game in Atlanta on Dec. 3.Also, no matter how it fares against Auburn in the Iron Bowl, the Tide looks to be heavily favored to beat the East winner -- either Florida or Tennessee -- in the title game and likely advance to the College Football Playoff. But although the Tide has overcome a loss to capture three of its four national titles under Saban, the coach wants no slip-ups down the stretch.If you put yourself in that situation, you let somebody else decided what your fate is, Saban said. If you take care of your business and do things the way you need to do it, then maybe you can control your own destiny in the way you play.Thats certainly much more the way we would like for it to be from our perspective. Weve got lots of tough games we have to play between now and then. We want to take it one game at a time and focus on improving.Alabama is on a 22-game winning streak, the longest of Sabans tenure and the third-longest in program history.Thats something that we take and try and keep going, Alabama wide receiver ArDarius Stewart said. Coach talks about it every week, all week, that you cant get complacent and you have to do all the little things right. Thats something we take pride in and try to do every week.The Tide put up impressive numbers against Mississippi State. Freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts became the first quarterback in Alabama history to throw for 300 yards (347) and rush for 100 yards (100) in the same game as he accounted for 447 yards of total offense, third-best in school history.Stewart became only the sixth player in program history to have three touchdown receptions in one game, and tight end O.J. Howard caught six passes for a season-high 77 yards with four of receptions resulting in first downs.We made a lot of explosive plays on offense, and executed in the passing game more efficiently and effectively, Saban said. Defensively, we made stops when we needed to when they made plays.Meanwhile, Chattanooga was losing for only the second time this season, a 36-28 setback to Wofford that dropped the Mocs five spots to No. 12 in the STATS media poll.Chattanooga is looking forward to the trip to Tuscaloosa.Our guys will be excited to play, Mocs coach Russ Huesman said. I think everybody knows this is the best team in the country. Our players know they have tremendous players, and I know they have tremendous coaches, very smart people there.Watching film, theyre not only athletic, but they do things right in all phases of the game. Its going to be a tough test, and were looking forward to it.Alabama won all 12 meetings, including 49-0 in the last encounter in 2013. USA Soccer Jerseys 2019 . R.J.

LOUIS -- Jay Haas is familiar with Bellerive Country Club -- and it showed in the first round of the Senior PGA Championship. Haas, who grew up in nearby Belleville, Ill., and Duffy Waldorf shared the lead Thursday, shooting 5-under 66 in breezy, cool conditions. The 59-year-old Haas, the winner of the major championship in 2006 and 2008, had a bogey-free round. The 50-year-old Waldorf had six birdies and one bogey. "I didnt expect it going out," Haas said about shooting a low round. "I wasnt very sharp today, but managed to ... my misses were in the correct spots and I took advantage of a few good iron shots and just kind of kept it between the ditches, I guess you would say. But Im very, very pleased." Haas has 16 Champions Tour victories after winning nine times on the PGA Tour. Waldorf is winless in 11 career starts on the 50-and-over tour after winning four times on the PGA Tour. "Tee to green, it was a very good day," Waldorf said. "All in all, I hit the ball really well. I really liked my iron play. I had quite a few birdie putts. I didnt make them all so I feel like I still had some more out there." Sonny Skinner, the PGA head professional at River Pointe Golf Club in Albany, Ga., was a stroke back along with Japans Kiyoshi Murota. "Im not going to adjust my goals because I did have a good day today," Skinner said. "My main goal coming into this tournament was to just try to stay within each shot and each moment. A lot of times when youre on the outside looking into a big stage like the Champions Tour, its real easy to get excited and your eyes wandering all over the place at how wonderful it is. "You lose sight of the fact that, Hey, I got to play golf." Australias Peter Senior and Taiwans Chien-Soon Lu shot 68, and Tom Watson, a two-time Senior PGA champion, was another stroke back in a 12--player group that included Kenny Perry, Fred Funk, Rocco Mediate, Russ Cochran, Dan Forsman, Gil Morgan and Bill Glasson.dddddddddddd Defending champion Roger Chapman opened with a 72. Peter Jacobsen, the 2004 U.S. Senior Open winner at Bellerive, had a 75. The temperature hovered in the low to mid-60s under overcast conditions. A light but steady rain fell three times in the afternoon, with each shower lasting less than 30 minutes. Haas finished third in the 2004 U.S. Senior Open at Bellerive. He said he has played about 30 rounds at the country club. "Im certainly very excited about shooting 5 under here," Haas said. "Probably my lowest score ever at Bellerive, no matter what age I was." His uncle, Bob Goalby, the 1968 Masters winner who stills lives in Belleville, followed him on the back nine holes. "I think he was happy for me," said Haas, who was going to have dinner with Goalby and other family members. "Hell try and get over when he can. The last time he walked nine holes, I dont know when that was." Haas made his way around the course with a balky back that he said left him in "a little bit" of pain. Waldorf finished ninth in the 1992 PGA Championship at Bellerive. Murota had six birdies and a double bogey. Skinner, a two-time winner on what is now the Web.com Tour, had six birdies and two bogeys and hit all 14 fairways in regulation.
