Well if I am honest and some Bama fan Will crucify me for this but I think our national title contention this season is made likely by the ridiculousness of this schedule. Remember we replaced nearly an entire OL and a first round CB and fifth yr player at safety.

If we can beat aTm soundly I'll be a believer. LSU is in a similar position but your schedule makes it far less likely that you get there.
