re: I actually think bama will be good next year

I agree. We all love to shite on Bama any chance we get but reality is they'll be ok. In no world will they be in the hunt every single year like they were under Saban but they'll have great years mixed in with good years and every once in a while they'll lose 4 games. Anyone counting them as an automatic win on their schedule should take a deep breath and look at this objectively.
