7. Alabama’s Crimson Tide could secure an SEC Championship Game berth by defeating Auburn in the Iron Bowl, with tiebreakers favoring them over Ole Miss and Georgia regardless of other results.

6. The final member of a 15-man Wiregrass drug trafficking ring, 45-year-old Terrell Edwards from Ozark, received 240 months in federal prison, capping a DEA probe that distributed meth, cocaine, and heroin across Dothan and surrounding Alabama areas.
