Is the Alabama Crimson Tide Great?
Unlike Peter Burns, I am not sure that any SEC football teams are currently great. My take is two can become great, and maybe two more also have a chance.
- No. 2 - Texas A&M Aggies (6-0, 3-0) - The Aggies beat Florida 34-17, and I came close in these rankings to placing them in a tie with Alabama at No. 1.
- No. 1 - Alabama Crimson Tide (5-1, 3-0) - Alabama prevailed over Missouri 27-24. I agree with longtime Alabama football expert Jimmy Stein that the Crimson Tide has the SEC's best road wins (maybe true across the FBS as well), thereby justifying this top ranking. Alabama has the potential to become a great team. The Crimson Tide is not there yet.
