Anybody Think Alabama Doesn't Go Back in 2013?

[Eric]

Check out their official schedule:

Aug. 31 - vs. Virginia Tech @Atlanta, GA
Sep. 14 - at Texas A&M
Sep. 21 - Colorado State
Sep. 28 - Ole Miss
Oct. 5 - Georgia State
Oct. 12 - at Kentucky
Oct. 19 - Arkansas
Oct. 26 - Tennessee
Nov. 9 - Louisiana State
Nov. 16 - at Mississippi State
Nov. 23 - Chattanooga
Nov. 30 - at Auburn

Certainly not an easy slate, but it's a four game season nonetheless. I don't see any way that Virginia Tech can beat Alabama though, so maybe more like a three game season. Johnny Manziel, LSU, and Florida/Georgia are the only things that can save us from a Bama three-peat. Well, them and Notre Dame

I should say that I would lean towards Florida winning the SEC next season depending on who stays. I'm pretty certain that Matt Elam will be off to the NFL, but I believe Jelani Jenkins will stay put. Their defense should be good enough and Driskell will probably make the necessary steps to become an average QB. That will win them a good portion of their games. It would take an upset over Alabama to do it, but I think it's possible.

We're not even done with 2012, why am I concerning myself with next year?

Bama will have the talent to be as good as anybody on their schedule...LSU and Johnny Football & A&M might be the biggest challenges,

Florida's Driscoll will have a barrel full of talent to support him.....I hope that Elam will be gone, he has been a great player for the Gators.

If Saban comes back he won't lose to A&M twice in a row.

Sat. Sept. 14,2013 Alabama at TEXAS A&M

TEXAS A&M doesn't have to wait until week 11 to give Bama it's 1st loss!!!!!!

Don't write off Ole Miss.

I'm convinced that they can pull it off next year.

I wonder if Auburn might be good enough under Malzahn. I don't think he has the talent base to beat Alabama, but I think they're a dark horse to win 8 or 9 games. Their non-conference should be 4-0 (Washington State, Arkansas State, Western Carolina, Florida Atlantic).

I don't think you need the talent equal to a team to beat them. You just need the motivation and 80% of the talent.
