Alabama Football's Post-Spring CFB Ranking, Revealed
Heading into Kalen DeBoer's first season at Alabama, anticipation was high, but few knew what to expect in the Crimson Tide's first year without Nick Saban in nearly two decades. Still, Alabama received the benefit of the doubt in the preseason as the Tide was touted as the No. 5 team in the preseason rankings. After going 9-4 and finishing No. 17 in the last A.P. Poll, the pressure has turned up on DeBoer and his staff, but with plenty of returning production, Alabama has some convinced it could return to its usual form. Advertisement College football analyst Josh Pate dropped his post-spring College Football rankings on Sunday night, with Alabama coming in at No. 4. CBS Sports' Josh Pate on "Josh Pate's College Football Show"YouTube 'I believe in Alabama, got them all the way up at number four," Pate said. Pate is looking at two position groups that could strike fear into the hearts of Alabama's opponents. 'Could have one of, if not the best wide receiver rooms in that conference, could have one of, if not the best defensive back rooms in that conference," Pate said. "I think with Ryan Grubb coming in as their offensive coordinator, more so than scheme change or play design improvement or anything like that, I just think the collective attitude and identity of the offense will be much easier to figure out.' Advertisement Not only did Alabama upgrade at its offensive coordinator position, but it also retained a bulk of its roster from last season. That continuity is what Pate believes could take Alabama to the next level under DeBoer. 'I think the returning production and the guys that could have gone to the portal or could have gone to the NFL and have come back, it's kind of a version of what Ohio State had happened last year," Pate said. Some of those that Pate is talking about include cornerback Domani Jackson, center Parker Brailsford, and defensive end LT Overton. All three and more are why Pate and others see a year-two coming for DeBoer's program. Related: National Analyst Chris Hummer Makes Bold Case for No. 1 Team in 2025

Wall collapse: government suspends Executive Officer of Simhachalam temple
The Government of Andhra Pradesh on Thursday placed K. Subba Rao, Deputy Collector, working as Executive Officer of the Sri Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Devasthanam at Simhachalam in Visakhapatnam, under suspension on the basis of the inquiry commission's preliminary report, holding him accountable for the wall collapse during Chandanotsavam in the early hours of April 30. A G.O. (RT No. 406) to that effect was issued by G. Jayalakshmi, Special Chief Secretary (Revenue - Vigilance). It was stated that the inquiry commission informed the government that as Executive Officer, Mr. Subba Rao was responsible for all arrangements in the temple and that the temporary wall had been constructed as per his directions. Mr. Subba Rao failed to ensure that the work was supervised by the engineers properly and as per the designs, and if all safety measures were taken or not. He was, therefore, liable for disciplinary action for gross negligence and dereliction of duty, the G.O. said. Accordingly, the government ordered Mr. Subba Rao's suspension in exercise of the powers conferred by Rule 8 of the A.P. Civil Services (Classification, Control & Appeal) Rules of 1991. Seven persons had been killed as the wall caved in on the unsuspecting devotees when they were waiting to have darshan on the auspicious occasion of Chandanotsavam due to incessant rains that lashed overnight in the area.
