My initial opinion of Alabama was that they probably would not survive their brutal schedule this season and not be a playoff team, but my opinion is starting to shift the other way.
It must sound trite to many when I come on here and say how great Alabama is, but the fact of the matter is, it's true. The natives use to get restless when I would say that you basically have to be a NFL talent to play for Alabama. Now a days, you just about have to be a 1st round NFL prospect to crack Alabama's starting lineup. What Saban is doing at Alabama is unprecedented, and I'm at the point where I almost feel sorry for the other teams in the league.
At this point I think the only team on Alabama's schedule that has a shot to beat them is LSU at night in Baton Rouge.
For me to sit here a tell you how absurdly good Alabama's defense is going to be this season is cliché at this point, but look at Phil Steele's magazine and you'll see he pretty much agrees. This will be the fastest, most athletic defense in the Saban era - a defense that is replete with first round NFL talent.
Offensively, if Saban does what I think is the smart thing which is to start true freshman Jalen Hurts from day one, I think, my to the chagrin of the rest of the nation, that Alabama will probably win the national championship once again. Maybe Clemson has a shot to knock them off, but Alabama will be a very, very tough out if they make it to the playoffs again.
The bottom line is that Alabama will be obscenely good again this season.
