Hey look, Alabama beat up on another team, again.

As the college football world has become accustomed too, Alabama is just that much better than everyone else. Tennessee had been a good team throughout the season, and was seen as a challenger to Alabama entering the season and the game. Unfortunately for Tennessee, they were not enough for the Crimson Tide. Alabama’s defense continues to dominate and the missing piece of many past teams, an explosive offense, has continued to be what truly separates Alabama from others. Quarterback Jalen Hurts has added a dimension that the Alabama offense just has not had before and it has paid off big time for the Crimson Tide this season and it should continue to do so.

The path to the SEC title still goes through Tuscaloosa, making Alabama the top team in our power rankings.
