I Have No Doubt That Alabama Isn't a Top 5 Team

Alabama's offense only scored 7 points in the second half versus Auburn and 14 points in the second half versus Oklahoma. For Alabama, that is abominable. I know that everyone here won't feel that strongly, and I wouldn't expect us too. That's the beauty of being human and living in America; we can form our own opinions and are allowed to voice them.

Now, I claim that Alabama isn't a Top 5 Team, so I must list at least 5 teams that would be reasonable challenges for Alabama. Sure, Alabama would be favored over all of them, but I don't care about betting lines; they're a business.

1. Auburn has already proven they can compete with Alabama.
2. Oklahoma's QB played the game of his life and Oklahoma proved they could compete with Alabama.
3. Stanford: Stanford has shut down many good offenses, and it's incredibly tough to run effectively versus them. Alabama would have to win through the air, but they'd be facing the team that leads the country in sacks. Stanford has a legit, very good front 7. Additionally, Alabama's defense isn't very good this season. I wouldn't be surprised to see Hogan have some success passing versus Alabama. Stanford's leads the nation in kickoff returns. I could dig up some more things about Stanford, but this is enough for now.
4. Michigan State: Sorry folks, this wouldn't be the 2011 Capital One Bowl. Michigan State is better that team that only mustered 7 points and Alabama is considerably worse than the 2010 Capital One Bowl version of Alabama. Alabama could win this game, but it wouldn't be a given.
5. Florida State is legit until proven otherwise. They've at least got the talent and defensive coaches to shut down Alabama. Sunseri and Pruitt are familiar with Alabama's offense and defense. If Winston is "on", Alabama just doesn't have the playmakers to get enough stops to win without turnovers or penalties.

That's 5, but there's more.
Missouri and South Carolina would be challenging opponents too. So there are at least 7 teams that I believe could compete with an even beat Alabama on a neutral field.

I could have taken another angle on this thread and just talked about all the WTF moments and deficiencies in this team, but that's been reiterated and would be unoriginal.

I'm not claiming that those 7 teams are better than Alabama, rather, Alabama is not definitively better than those 7 teams. They would all be great , entertaining games, but this team hasn't shown that they'd beat those teams down like teams of past.
