This preview series takes on a similar order each year: based on the previous year’s S&P+ rankings, I start with the conference with the worst average and work my way to the first, and within each conference we also go worst to first. The series, then, almost always ends with Alabama.
So every year, the Crimson Tide preview takes on a valedictory feel. It’s more of a “We’re officially ready for the season to start” declaration than a preview — it’s easy to feel like I’m writing the same thing every year. The Tide have finished either first or second in S&P+ in eight of the past nine years, and the one year they failed to clear that bar (2010), they were fourth.

The sky is the limit, at least temporarily
