Alabama has looked unstoppable lately as the Crimson Tide have cruised to a 5-0 record.
The offense is rolling under new OC Brian Daboll. Sophomore QB Jalen Hurts has three games with at least 100 yards rushing and 100 yards passing, and the Tide’s deep backfield has also shined.
The defense is another stifling one under Nick Saban, and many are starting to question if there is any team that can take down Alabama. Alabama is 2-0 in the SEC with just three points allowed in league play, and that is not likely to change anytime soon.
Alabama heads into Saturday’s matchup against Texas A&M as heavy favorites, and former Auburn head coach and current SEC Network analyst sees just one team remaining that may challenge the Tide.
Chizik tweeted out Friday evening that Auburn is likely the only team from the SEC West that could give the Tide a legitimate challenge:
I think @AuburnFootball is the only team with a chance to beat Bama. The rest of the @SEC West? They have no chance. #CFB 2/2

It is hard to disagree with Chizik’s claim. Arkansas has looked lifeless at times, LSU lost to Troy at home, and Mississippi State has fallen off after a hot start.
