If you think they can win the National Championship the odds went from 9 to 1 before the Florida State game to 15 to 1 now. I bet a small wager at 15 to 1. Probably not smart, but I like those odds. I did bet Bama at 12 to 1 when they won first one under Saban.

We beat a team that we should've beat the way we were supposed to beat them. I am glad that they appeared to keep intensity and focus for pretty much the whole game and didn't appear to let complacency creep in (which was when prior teams under Saban would normally get a butt chewing).
They played to the "Standard" Saturday night- which is a step forward from FSU. So, I am proud of that response, but:
Can the do it this week against another team we should beat but are more talented than the one you just paled?
Can you do it for the week after that on the road against a very talented team?
Can you do it the week after that against a team that you have more talent than, but beat you nonetheless last year?
Can you do it the week after that against a middle of the pack SEC team on the road?
And so on... That's the "Standard," every play - game in and game out, regardless of the opponent or where they are located.
