The Alabama Crimson Tide have had little competition to win the Southeastern Conference title the past three years. Their margin of victory in the SEC Championship Game has averaged 27 points during that stretch, as they went on to win the NCAA title once (2015) and also appeared in last year’s CFP National Championship Game.

With quarterback Jalen Hurts back for his sophomore season, Alabama is listed as a -150 favorite to take home a fourth consecutive SEC title this year.

Hurts played well as a true freshman in 2016 and had to deal with a new offensive coordinator against the Clemson Tigers for the national championship after Lane Kiffin bolted to take the head coaching job for the Florida Atlantic Owls.
