Look around you.

The rest of the SEC is Hot DooDoo.

I'd say we are 3rd behind the ACC and Big 10 this year


Unfortunately you are right. Alabama's pre-season slate has been easy this year and I'm worried they aren't going to be battle tested for the games that matter.

I don't think Alabama will be battle tested



While I'm inclined to agree with you, I think Death Valley at night for Jalen Hurts was crucial to his development as a QB. That may be the difference in how he reacts to adversity in the playoffs.

Down 21 points on the road to Ole Miss, before they imploded.

110,000 screaming hillbillies in knoxvegas

0-0 late in the second half in the red stick against an extremely talented and well coached D, (possibly 2nd best in the nation)

Overcomes umpteen turnovers in the iron bowl against a stout auburn D

About to face a top 10 D in the gators this weekend???

Not sure there's a team out there more battle tested
