re: Is this the year bama is dethroned?

To me Georgia is the team to watch. If they close with who they are expected to, they should make a push for #1. If I had to bet though, Bama will close strong and flip one or two players to end up #1. Winning another national championship will only help. If things going exceptionally well for us, we could make a push for a top 3 spot, but we will need some of our 3* players to get a 4th and get Gary and Juarez which I don't think we get either.
