I know it's early, but Alabama looked untouchable against a pretty decent team. What team, if any, can really go head to head with the Tide right now?

Sure as heck ain't us

Sure, they could. Ole Miss, LSU, Tennessee, who knows.

I think we're getting too much credit. Our offense was anemic in the first quarter and a half and they basically gifted us 3 TDs. I just don't think USC is remotely good this year.

It's week 1. A few teams will be a lot better Week 15 than Week 1. Nobody would have thought Alabama would lose to Ohio State in 2014 after Ohio State lost to a shitty Virginia Tech team.

These are 18-22 year olds. Saban manages it better than most, but a lot can happen between now and December. That said, this is the best Alabama has looked in an opener since 2012.

Ole Miss, TN, LSU, Ark all away. They can all beat Alabama if Bama is not playing their best.

I get the feeling it would shock our rival fans more than it would shock us. Most of the teams in this league are capable of beating us if we don't bring our A game. And we've been in this position enough to know how difficult that is to do week in and week out

IF Auburn can get its offense in gear we could win the Iron Bowl. Defense looks to be good enough.

Alabama is not untouchable. It's week one, we don't know shite about any team right now.

I'm usually of the opinion that predicting anyone to go undefeated is ridiculous.

But I think Bama's going to go undefeated.

That's what has me so scared of Alabama. Nick Saban is the greatest coach of all time and is able to mold a team from nothing into a National Championship team. Alabama didn't play a great game Week 1, but they're leaps and bounds ahead of where they were last year in Week 1. Saban will continue to coach and the Tide will become a better football team as the year goes on. To me, this Alabama team could turn out to be the best team Saban has ever had, simply because they are already ahead (in terms of game-preparedness) of Saban's previous few teams.
