Who Could Take Alabama's Place At The Top Of The Mountain?

The Crimson Tide's season has taken a sudden downward spiral. A defining defeat at the hands of rival LSU coupled with Tua Tagovailoa's season-ending injury has sent Alabama into a bit of uncertainty. Some people are going as far to say that Alabama's demise is imminent. So which of these schools could take Alabama's place atop the mountain for years to come?

• Clemson: If you want a school that could usurp Alabama atop the mountain, look no further than their championship rival Clemson. Dabo Swinney pulls in consistent top five recruiting classes and plays in an anemic ACC conference. The Tigers could dominate the landscape for years to come as a result of this.
  
• LSU: All Ed Orgeron needed to break through this season was a bona fide quarterback and he got one in Joe Burrow. Another group of Tigers could perch themselves atop the SEC with their group of all star recruits.
  
• Georgia: Kirby Smart, a disciple of Nick Saban's, has established a similar culture to that of his mentor's. Elite defenses, strong linebacker groups, and a hotspot for football could make Athens, Georgia the place to be for college football for the forseeable future.
  
• Ohio State: Just because Urban Meyer left doesn't mean the Buckeyes are just simply going to go away. Pulling in big name transfers (Justin Fields) and five-star recruits has Ryan Day picking up where Meyer left off.
