Tons of offensive weapons.

Saban.

It's easier to rebuild defense than offense.

San Jose State W
Penn State W
@Duke W
@Arkansas W
Florida W
@South Carolina T/U
Ole Miss W
@Tennessee W
@LSU T/U
Mississippi State W
Georgia State W
Auburn W

11-1 (7-1)

The South Carolina toss up isn't a joke. It's at the end of a stretch of 3/4 on the road, and it'll come after a big win over Florida. This is South Carolina's year to win the East and they'll be tough at home.

LSU and Alabama have played close games since 2007. The game's in Baton Rouge and LSU is desperate to beat Alabama.

Looks good. I'd probably put Florida and Au a toss up as well. I think we'll be favored in them all though.

Isn't there 6 games with teams coming off of byes? Even the 'easy' wins will be tough.

Yep.. that's why I think so many could be toss ups.

I couldn't tell. I kind of thought you were making fun of me.

By the same count though, I think our offense will be really good and our passing improved this year. We averaged 32 ppg last yr and that was against some of the top defenses in the nation at the end of the season. I think we'll be even better this yr.

I really don't think Auburn's going to be that great. Florida probably should be a toss up, but I'm having flashbacks of that 2005 beatdown for this season.

We won't lose to Auburn at home. Arky, Florida, LSU, and South Carolina are all possible losses.

I don't think the USCe game will be that tough. Garcia's confidence will be laid to waste by Spurrier by the time that game rolls around. Bama by 17.

We should've beat them worse than we did last year, but G-Mac was in his little sucky funk.

LSU...meh. They have no LaFell and Scott, Jefferson's still Jefferson and Miles...well, Miles is still Miles.

Yeah cause Garcia had no confidence last year under Spurrier.

In that case we should've beaten UGA, 'Bama, Arky, UF, UT, and UConn but the team had little 60 min. sucky funks. For the other 6 days and 23 hours of the week they were on fire.

Will be much better. Players often improve with age / experience (and a better OL)

I like Bama and appreciate its talent. But, LSU will likely be much better than last season.

Has anyone said they won't be really good?

Of course they'll still be really good.

But good enough to win another title?

That's the question.

Florida and Auburn have to be toss-ups too. Maybe Arky since it's early in the season.
