O-line/D-line, and I don't think it's really close. This is the one thing that sets the SEC apart from everyone else, making us the best conference there is.
Hell, last year, think of who had both of those(LSU/Bama). Who had the best QB's and WR's? Not either of those teams. QB led teams (Ark/Ga), last year, got violated by LSU/Bama. Best WR corps didn't mean much when the D-line is wrecking shite up.
One might ask about the RB's, but the SEC is full of good backs. Look at a guy like Arian Foster's(First guy to come to mind) career, seemed like he underachieved in college, but he had a shitty O-line, gets to NFL and is all-pro behind people who actually block. Hell, LSU has 4 guys who could start at 95% of other schools, goes to show the general depth to be found.
DB's are good and all, but is it a coincidence the best at those play on the same D as the best D-line? I think not. Anyways, DB's aren't hard too hard to find.
LB's are ineffective when their D-line is getting bitched around by the O-line, see SEC Champ last year.

If you do it right, then it is O-line, then D-line, then linebacker, then RB, then DB, then QB.
Because of the transient nature of college football, coaches make a choice to either build a system that doesn't rely on having a stellar QB or build one that depends heavily on the QB and take the chance that the new one every other year will be able to perform.
For Alabama, the QB is way down the list. If he turns out to be good, then all the better.
