The Alabama Crimson Tide started off the Saturday Blitz power rankings holding on to the top spot in the SEC and in the final regular season rankings of 2016, the Crimson Tide remain in that spot.

Alabama wasn’t clicking on all cylinders last Saturday but it did not matter. The Alabama defense was suffocating for the Auburn offense and Jalen Hurts played through perhaps his worst game from an interception point of view, to help lead the team to get the victory over their arch-rivals in the Iron Bowl. The Crimson Tide have been impressive this year, their defense is perhaps the best I have ever seen and their offense gets more and more dynamic. Hurts has progressed as a quarterback all throughout the season and barring an upset by Florida, it will be interesting to see how he and the rest of the team fare in the college football playoffs.
