Alabama has won six straight games and continues to position itself as a legitimate contender in the National Championship race.

A big reason for that is the emergence of redshirt junior QB Ty Simpson, who in just seven starts has solidified himself as one of the nation's best quarterbacks.

Simpson put together another strong performance this past weekend in leading Alabama to a 37-20 win over Tennessee, the team's fourth consecutive win over a ranked SEC foe.
