re: Do you view Bama-Michigan as the defacto National Championship Game?

Not this year. I don’t think the SEC is as strong as it has been in years past. We are about like we were when tOSU won it.

Also, it’s actually just Alabama that’s down. Georgia is not as good as they were last year. Most of the other SEC teams are about like they always are.

I think Michigan, Washington and Texas all have football teams this year that are about like Alabama and Georgia. When Alabama is at full strength under Saban none of those teams can stay with us. Our biggest concern is coaching turnover.
