We'll learn plenty about where everybody belongs over the next couple weeks, but there is no doubt about who should sit atop the SEC power rankings today.
It's top-ranked Alabama, of course.
The Crimson Tide will visit Tennessee this weekend, followed by a home date with Texas A&M and a trip to LSU to open November. That challenging stretch will either validate Alabama's spot atop the list or bring a lot more debate to this conversation.
In the meantime, the only debate is how to slot everyone behind the Tide. Other than perhaps Texas A&M, about half the league seems to be playing about the same: up and down.
