yes or no?
while i think they probably have the best rounded team i think they'll lose at least one game this year and won't get to play in the game. some sorry arse like ohio state probably gets in.

so i'll say no

I don't believe we do. its just to hard to three-peat and our offensive line is a huge question mark.

I don't see who is gonna beat them. ATM has a shot, but I don't think they will get it done. Other than that, they are good to go...

only if they lose to LSU again at home and Les Miles tells Tracy that he would be honored to play Bama again.

Doubtful. This will be a tough year to avoid to avoid complacency. They lost so much leadership last year, and if some of the vets don't step up and keep the younger players on their feet, they could have 2010-like season.

I expect them to drop a game they're not expected to lose, i.e., Ole Miss, Tennessee, Auburn.

I agree with this. I think we mud stomp A&M, and get complacent after that. Hopefully we man up though.

No. Undefeated Ohio State and undefeated Louisville edge out 1 loss Alabama. Though I say for once a good reason as I see Alabama's only loss coming vs South Carolina in the SEC championship game.

Don't see it. The stars had to align perfectly for them last year, and they had a better team.

I'll say yes. Let's be honest, only two teams should give us trouble, even with the OL being iffy. Ole Miss is the team I have most likely beating us though.

A&M can put up a fight, but their D shouldn't be a challenge for this offense, and we need to see what JFF is gonna do with all this stuff going on. That said, we haven't lost on the road since 2010 and A&M lost at home twice last year.

Ole Miss played us really tough last year. They return almost everyone, and add a great class. I could see a case of the look aheads and they beat us.

The home team usually doesn't mean anything in the Bama/LSU rivalry, and LSU will be a top ten team. They return a good bit up front on O, we return almost everyone in our front seven. We're inexperienced up front on O, they're inexperienced up front on D. Tough call, but I trust AJ McCarron to win a tough game more than Mett.

The East has three good teams, but UGA's D is a big question mark, Florida's O is a complete question mark, but South Carolina poses the biggest threat to us. Spurrier plays Saban well, Clowney, etc.

We had a better team last year?

- Our QB is back and better.

- Our 1a RB is back and better. More talented than our 1 RB last year.

- Fowler is back, and it was only two games, but his blocking as a FB made a nice difference last year when he played.

- Possibly best OT in CFB is back.

- Top 10 OG at worst is back.

- All WRs are back. Lost our top TE, but added the top TE outta HS. BMW wasn't much of a catching threat anyway.

- All four starting LBs return, and Devall will platoon with Dickson at Jack after getting more and more PT as the year went on.

- 3 of our top 4 CBs are back, our best Safety is back, and we return two more experienced Safeties.

- Our punter is back and better.

- Our Returners are back.

How exactly was last year a better team?

Complacency will be our enemy. I really believe based on experience and talent Alabama is the best team top to bottom, but there are several teams who can beat us besides LSu and aTm. OM and Tennessee while not great necessarily certainly have the talented starters to get it done. If we do win the sec we will likely have to beat either a very talented SC or a GA team with revenge on their mind. Very difficult to stay focused after winning back to back titles. Regardless of schedule, the odds so to speak are not in Bamas favor.
