I agree with Bayless. Alabama is not the best team in the country. They're still very damn good. Probably top 5, but considering their coaching turnover, and losses to the draft, I could not possibly say that they are the #1 team in the land.

Not when they just lost the NCG to a team that didn't just replace their coordinators and like 9 players to the draft. Their secondary is suspect on top of all that. Two different teams torched their secondary last year for huge yardage.

I may put Washington above Alabama. Clemson as default #1 because Alabama has benefited from this ranking style for a decade now. Anyways, Alabama is preseason top 5 in my eyes and may not lose a single damn game.

What's real funny is this thread going 4 pages of meglamoniacal douchebags getting pissy because someone dared to call Alabama anything but the best. Worst fanbase in the country

I question whether Bama's a top 5 team. I honestly believe Aub, Ark and LSU have a good shot at beating them. There's also the sophomore jinx that tends to haunt SEC teams.
