There is no new King in college football. Alabama Football was the King last season, as it has been so many times in the Nick Saban era. The current Tide has not earned any status yet, beyond winning three games. They are some bonus points for the Florida win, given the uber intensity of the Gators’ crowd. But being ranked No. 1 at this point has little meaning.
What the Alabama Crimson Tide has not done is look dominant for 60 minutes in any game this season. So far, that shortage of dominance is not a major concern for the Tide.
