Final SEC power rankings: Alabama, Ole Miss lead the way

With bowl season all but wrapped up -- outside of Alabama facing Clemson in the College Football Playoff National Championship Presented by AT&T -- here are our final SEC power rankings of the season.

1. Alabama (13-1): The Crimson Tide didn't begin the season No. 1. They didn't immediately soar to the top position, either. Remember, there was that loss at home to Ole Miss. But the demise of the Crimson Tide's dynasty proved to be overstated. Thanks to the emergence of Derrick Henry as a Heisman Trophy tailback and a defensive line that's the best in college football, Alabama held the top spot in the SEC by Week 10 and never looked back.
