Produce the most potent ground game in all of college football, an attack that features the nation’s most prolific running back, and it’s a virtual slam dunk that you will be universally acknowledged as perhaps the country’s most outstanding offensive line.

It’s not the first time that Alabama has been so recognized with such a well-deserved honor, both among the SEC and nationally. The Crimson Tide have traditionally boasted a slew of future NFL studs up front to open the door to their preferred power running game, and this year was no exception.

Senior center Ryan Kelly and sophomore left tackle Cam Robinson earned first-team, All-SEC honors. They paced a behemoth offensive line that paved the way for Heisman Trophy-winning tailback Derrick Henry, who led the nation with 1,986 yards and 23 touchdowns. The Tide’s 2,707 yards rushing on the ground as a team was tops in the SEC.

Kelly, the 2015 Rimington Trophy winner, received first-team All-America honors for the fourth time this postseason after also being honored by USA Today, Walter Camp and the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA). The senior, who was named an Associated Press second-team selection as well, missed only eight assignments in 948 snaps and did not allow a sack all season.

Here’s a look at the five best offensive lines in the SEC.

1. Alabama: The Crimson Tide chewed up 28 touchdowns on the ground while allowing just 19 sacks in 13 games (1.46 per game).

2. LSU: First-team All-SEC tackle Vadal Alexander headlines a talented group that made room for tailback Leonard Fournette and helped the Tigers pace the conference with an average of 245.91 yards rushing per game and an SEC-best 29 rushing scores. Alexander, a four-year starter on the offensive line, has posted more than 100 knockdown blocks while starting all of the Tigers’ 11 games (10 at right tackle, one at left tackle).

3. Tennessee: This is easily the most improved offensive line in the conference. A year after surrendering an SEC-worst 43 sacks, the Volunteers allowed just 21 this season (1.75 per game) while also making sure running backs Jalen Hurd and Alvin Kamara had room to work. UT finished second in the SEC in rushing offense at 223.5 yards per game.

4. Georgia: It’s hard to say that having the fourth-best offensive line in the SEC is disappointing, but the Bulldogs returned the bulk of the 2014 unit that helped the Dawgs lead the SEC with just under 260 yards rushing per game. This year’s line struggled at times in open running lanes and in quarterback protection, so much so that wholesale changes up front became a necessity late in the season.

Despite no real threat of a passing game, Georgia finished fourth in the SEC in rushing offense this year, but its mediocre average of just better than 194 yards per game marked a precipitous drop from the year before. Senior tackle John Theus was the unit’s lone first-team, all-conference selection, while junior center/guard Brandon Kublanow received second-team accolades.

5. Arkansas: First-team, All-SEC guard Sebastian Tretola started all 12 games at left guard this season and has made 23 consecutive starts at the position. A co-recipient of the Jacobs Blocking Trophy, Tretola has allowed just one half-sack in his career, helping the Razorbacks lead the SEC in fewest sacks allowed each of his two seasons in Fayetteville. The Hogs ranked fifth in the SEC in rushing offense at 192.58 yards per game.
