Where are we gonna be weaker and stronger? Does next year's team have championship potential?

D-line will be the strongest we've had under Saban. Lots of depth and nasty talent up front. Losing Depriest hurts as far as getting everyone where they need to be, and Dickson will be a tough loss, but Evans has shown a lot of promise, Ragland is a beast, Foster could break out next year, and Tim Williams has been doing well so the front 7 should be scary overall. I think Ragland is going to be a good leader in the middle.

Biggest concern defensively is safety, but we have former early enrollee Hootie Jones with a lot of talent, and incoming early 5 star enrollee Deionte Thompson, plus a couple guys who have performed there this year. Corners with one more year in the system so I don't know why they shouldn't be improved. Crazy talent at ther position.

Offensively we lose a lot of contributing starters, but we are insanely deep at receiver. Nobody can replace Cooper immediately, but we will have a passing game. Whichever QB gets the job will do plenty to keep our offense rolling. Coker has looked much better in garbage time than he did earlier in the season. Kiffin will have him or Bateman/Cornwell ready.

RB is just so deep for Bama. Kenyan Drake and Derrick Henry back, Tyren Jones with another year in the system. We'll be able to run. If Cristobal can coach well enough, the o-line will be fine despite losing some good blockers. Ryan Kelly and C-Rob are the most important pieces right now.

Next year is definitely a championship caliber team in talent. The defense will be the best since 2011, so the offense just needs to be adequate.

Also, 21-0, 20-13. Congrats and switching to the right side. Welcome to the family
