MUCH easier schedule that last year.
Defense will almost certainly be better. Basically 10 starters returning.
4 of 5 returning on Oline, which is always huge.
Trent is not the only RB threat by any means.
QB is a question mark, but not replacing an elite guy at that position.
WR will take a hit with loss of Julio no doubt. Other top two WR are back, and people believe Bama has recruited well at that position the last three years.
There are the main reasons. Top 10 team last year. Should be there again.

I'll give you the favorible schedule, but we both had a bye week when we faced each other. Now I thought Richardson was more of a break away threat than Ingram, but I'm worried that he won't be an every down back like Ingram "he was a beast". Your Secondary was real weak last year, besides BARRON.

Can we get some new subjects to discuss in here. It is the same subject with a different title.
Who cares the season is played out on a field 12 teams will get a chance to prove Bama didn't deserve the hype. Too much emphasis is given to preseason polls, analysis, etc.
I am ready for this season to go so we all can post in threads on how our team is better because it scored more points then your team against a common opponent.

SABAN is that the answer? look the guy is good, but not that good. Bama should every year return good players like an LSU or Florida, BUT come on. Last year you had Ingram, Richardson, McElroy, and Jones. You still couldn't beat us. It was a home game for us, but how do you think you will improve with no known QB and now only one true running threat Richardson "who we took out of the game", and okay receivers. I do think your defensive front and Linebackers will be good, but Secondary is way overrated
Dude, I'm an LSU fan, but you're embarassing yourself.
McElroy was an unknown heading into 2009. Ingram was only a sophomore and not that great yet and their D was about the same as it is now. I think 09 turned out pretty well.

We return 10 starters from a defense that ranked #1 in the SEC and top 5 nationally in most statistical categories.
We will have the most experienced offensive line in the SEC.
Trent Richardson will be running behind that offensive line.
QB position will be a tremendous upgrade in overall talent.
Nick Saban
MUCH easier schedule

Who fricking knows who is going to be good. NOBODY has played a down of football yet! Why do you let a preseason ranking even bother you? For fricks sake.....

I did forget about Maze so I'll give ya'll that receiver! Now when you talk about a game is won in the trenches and you should know football before you talk trash blah blah blah, are you talking abou the same Offensive line that we blew up, or were the guys sitting out that game that you are starting this year?
guys why are ya'll getting so butt hurt. Man I'm just ready for the season to start and I wanted to talk some trash. Besides all this love fest with Bama is ridiculous.... Bama fans you have to admit to it.

Our secondary led the SEC in interceptions. Lester was close to leading the entire country.

Alabama 176 YPG passing allowed, 52.3% completion percentage allowed, 12-22 TD-INT ratio

What was that again?

Arky has a new QB too. People think he'll be good because he torched a terrible AU Secondary. McElroy torched that Secondary for 400 yards. McCarron has played as much as Arky's new QB.

The same starting lineup was not used after the South Carolina game due to injuries.

I can. Because they feel like they finally made to the top and became a better program than Bama. Then Bama hired Saban and quickly jumped back atop the heap. Now, countless LSU fans will try to refute my post by talking about how Les Miles beat Saban such and such many times and LSU won last year, yadda yadda. But that's why.
