re: Why is Bama getting so much love In Rankings

Bama will be very good and their future looks even better...over the next couple of years. I am a little surprised at Bama fans that "IF's" that so many Bama fans are considering "YES's" as a forgone conclusion. Such as:
1. That whatever QB will be able to be an effective game manager
2. That the secondary will be much better than they were at the end of the season
3. That Josh Chapman will be all SEC
4. That 1st round pick LT Carpenter wasn't nearly as good as the NFL thought
5. That Trent Richardson can carry the rock 25 times a game without getting injured.....at all
6. That several WR's will step up and make the WR corps better than average (all they are with Maze and Hanks as the main 2 targets

Schedule is good and if the stars align, I don't doubt that Bama can compete for the whole thing...I just think Bama fans are assuming that a whole lot of IF's will work themselves out quickly and painlessly. Watchout in PA. IF the new QB comes out hot right out of the gate and gains confidence in that first game, I will change my opinion...but I think the starter will be AJ and I've already seen him choke.
