Considering Bama, without a doubt, has the hardest schedule (thanks, Birmingham), I still feel very good going into the season.

Actually there is quite a bit of doubt in that. Bama plays some very good teams this year, that is true. They do, however, avoid the dreaded back to back road game curse. If they go on the road and get whipped then Bama gets to come back home and lick their wounds.

They also have a glorified scrimmage before the Iron Bowl to help get them healthy for the big game. The schedule is loaded yes, but it is set up in a very manageable way. Add to that Wisconsin seems to be imploding with injuries and Bama really shouldn't toot the "We have the worst schedule in college football" horn too loudly.
