Is there any question about this one? The Alabama Crimson Tide are far and away the best team in college football and now look invincible after last weekend’s dominating win over the Tennessee Vols in Knoxville.

Nick Saban and Lane Kiffin just reloaded all of their talent from last year, and they are rolling over everybody. Only one bad half against the Ole Miss Rebels has kept them from blowing out everybody that they face.

Still, Jalen Hurts, at quarterback represents a team that has been dominating defensively over the past few years now becoming as much of an offensive juggernaut.

How scary is that? Are they potentially the best team in college football history? Well, they’re certainly at the top of our SEC Power Rankings.

And this weekend, they face a traditionally dominant offensive team that has turned into a defensive juggernaut as well, the reverse of what they are.

So as great as the Crimson Tide are, they still have a heck of a lot more work to do. After facing the Texas A&M Aggies this weekend in a battle of two undefeated teams, they still have to face the LSU Tigers, which come the next week, and the Auburn Tigers at the end of the year.

So this team’s work is far from finished.
