I haven't seen any other team in the country play as well as Alabama and with the same consistency
I would bet good money that you haven't watched Michigan, Ohio State, Washington, Clemson, or Louisville play more than one full game each (if that).
I know for a fact you haven't actually. If you had, you would realize that all five of those teams would give Alabama more than they want.
Bama has a great defense, but their offense isn't anywhere near the level of Clemson/Washington/OSU/LVille

So far Ohio State has beat up on three cupcakes, put up an impressive performance against a decent Oklahoma defense and looked shaky against a good Indiana defense.
None of that exactly suggests being a level above Alabama's offense.
S&P+ factors in strength of opposition and pace of play among other things. Here are the current offensive standings:
1. Lousiville (Rushing: 2 Passing: 18)
2. Oklahoma (5, 7)
3. Texas Tech (40, 15)
4. Florida State (14, 6)
5. Ole Miss (33, 8)
6. Oregon (22, 33)
7. Texas (37, 65)
8. Alabama (7, 44)
9. South Florida (30, 60)
10. California (17, 67)
11. Ohio State (3, 46)
16. Washington (16, 15)
18. Clemson (50, 5)
Expect Alabama's offense to continue to improve now that the offensive line has jelled and Hurts continues to grow more comfortable with the offense.

And 3/4 of those teams don't have a defense that compares at all with Alabama's. Alabama can be beat by any of those four and others, just like every year. That isn't some grand revelation it's just the way football works.
If I'm forced to bet on the money line, only one team in that group would make me pause and consider not getting on Alabama.

Only 2 of those listed have a higher total offense ranking...but good try.
