College Football Week 6 Power Rankings

The Alabama Crimson Tide continue to roll.

It started early and often for Alabama. In a game at 16th ranked Arkansas, Alabama looked different then what we are used to seeing.

Alabama might look different this year, but they are producing the same results.

The Crimson Tide have developed an up-tempo offense, led by their freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts, that is producing about 10.1 yards per play.

The offense put up 517 total yards on Saturday, but is still the defense that leads the show.

This defense is easily the best in the county. One can try and debate but it’s not worth the time.

The Crimson Tide got off to a good start Saturday, leading 35-17, and didn’t look back in the second half.

This team has been a step above everyone else so far this season, but there are some worries for Nick Saban and his team.

His defense is playing great, obviously, but I’m sure Saban isn’t happy giving up 30 points to Arkansas on Saturday. Saban is a perfectionist, and was probably caught somewhere yelling at one of his players or coaches after the game on Saturday.

But that desperation for perfection is what makes Saban so good. It’s what makes Alabama so good. So far this Alabama team seems to be a step above the rest, but there is a lot left to prove.

It all starts this week when they travel to Tennessee. The Volunteers are coming into this week with a must-win mindset, so it will be interesting to see how Hurts handles the pressure. If Alabama can get through the next two weeks, Tennessee on the road and A&M at home, it looks like they will find themselves on top of yet another Ap Poll heading into the College Football Playoff.

The real question is, can this Alabama team finish unlike teams in the past?
