Should Alabama Be No. 1 Team in College Football?

Alabama capped off the 2015 SEC West title with a 29-13 win over intrastate rival Auburn in the Iron Bowl, but it didn't exactly earn any style points.

Sure, the 16-point wins makes the bettors that took the Tide out in Las Vegas happy, but that was aided by a late touchdown once the game was out of reach.

The Crimson Tide converted just five of their 16 third-down opportunities, allowed Auburn to hang around far too long thanks to red-zone struggles and polished off the Tigers late thanks to running back Derrick Henry's 271 rushing yards on a career-high 46 carries.
