1. Alabama Crimson Tide

Alabama has been in the No. 1 spot all year and they beat down Tennessee on Saturday, 45-7. Honestly Alabama has been pretty steady as of late, nothing too excited. They beat up on a reeling Tennessee team like they were supposed today and keep the No. 1 in the nation.

The Tide only allowed 108 total yards on Saturday, Tennessee might be underachieving, but they have a some good athletes and for them to only have 108 yards is a case of total domination by Alabama. This unit had four sacks and nine tackles for loss. Defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs had seven tackles, 0.5 tackles for loss and one quarterback hurry.

The Alabama offense had 604 total yards and it was a group effort, nobody had a standout game, but at the end of the day they won by 38 points and nobody had a extraordinary game.

Right now Alabama is rolling and Tennessee did nothing to prove otherwise, just another Saturday in the SEC when it comes to the Tide.
