5 Teams With The Best Chance of Beating Alabama in 2015

Alabama Crimson Tide Head Coach Nick Saban — Everyone in the world can agree that Alabama Football and Nick Saban should burn to the ground, metaphorically speaking. But the Crimson Tide is still looking at yet another championship season. Here are 5 teams that have the best chance at putting a stop to the SEC monster.

Everyone in the world can agree that Alabama Football and Nick Saban should burn to the ground, metaphorically speaking. But the Crimson Tide is still looking at yet another championship season. Here are 5 teams that have the best chance at putting a stop to the SEC monster.

5. Arkansas

Mississippi v Arkansas — As surprising as this pick is, fans have to know that Arkansas is making a comeback in 2015. The Hogs haven't beaten Bama since 2006 and lost a gruesome 14-13 to them in 2014. Although the Hogs won't have the home-field advantage, they will be looking to make their mark and make their extra points against Alabama this year.

4. Ole Miss

Obviously Ole Miss will be thrown in here. The Rebels were one of the couple teams to beat out Bama in 2014 with a 23-17 win that came down to the final seconds. Ole Miss is going to be stronger than last season and has returning star Laquon Treadwell who will undoubtedly get the dirty work done for the Rebels at Tuscaloosa.

3. Auburn

3. Auburn

No matter how poor of a season that Auburn or Alabama has, the Iron Bowl will always be a barn burner. Nobody will forget where they were when Chris Davis ran back the missed field goal for a touchdown in the final seconds of the 2013 Iron Bowl. With the talent of the two squads, the 2015 Iron Bowl is sure to be another classic in the books.

2. Georgia

2. Georgia

Georgia hasn't faced off against Alabama since the SEC Championship in 2012. That being said, there is no recent history to go off of. But we do know that the Bulldogs are a front-runner for the SEC East in 2015 and have grown their running game. Georgia will have the home-field advantage against Bama.

1. Mississippi State

1. Mississippi State

As good of a team as Mississippi State is, this pick is another surprising one. In 2014, the Bulldogs were embarrassed in Tuscaloosa with a 59-0 loss. However, that will not put M-State out of the loop for 2015. They will come back strong and try to catch the Crimson Tide off guard with some quick points that will give them the win. Also, there's the home-field advantage.
