The No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide find themselves back in the AP Top 5, but they now face a trap game against a Tennessee Volunteers team that could cause them some problems.
Alabama is coming off a huge 59-0 win against then-ranked No. 21 Texas A&M and with games against No. 24 LSU and No. 1 Mississippi State in the next few weeks, the Crimson Tide could be looking past the Volunteers.
After the game against Texas A&M, coach Nick Saban spoke about how the win registers and what it means to the Crimson Tides’ long-term aspirations.
"I said, `You guys are starting to feel the pressure, being criticized and not being the Sergeant at Arms that we need you to be in terms of how you control the line of scrimmage, how you dominate the line of scrimmage," Saban said. ”`None of the other the guys are going to make any plays unless you guys do that. And I believe in you. I trust in you.”
The Tide come in at No. 4 in the country and another solid performance against Tennessee could bump them even higher when the College Football Playoff Selection Committee release their first rankings on Tuesday.
Alabama leads the all-time series against Tennessee 50-38-7 and the Crimson Tide have taken the last five games from the Volunteers The Crimson Tide won the 2013 matchup with the Vols by the score of 45-10.
