re: Is 2013 Really Bama's Year?

I'd say there are about 3-5 teams on paper next year that could put it all together for a great run. However, I'm not up to speed on what each team is losing specifically. Based on what you've said Bama is losing: that is A LOT to replace. SEC teams live and die by their lines. Case in point, look at us this year. Our strength going into the season was our O Line; then we got the injury bug and it took us half the season to gel with the new guys.
