I'll give you the real world view:
Alabama is a team that almost lost to Arkansas and except for a brain fart did lose to an epically bad Auburn team. They have potential everywhere but potential and 5 bucs won't get you lunch at McDonalds. Every team they play has been practicing for them since spring ball, they face virtually new, never before seen on film offense and defensive schemes every week, which tends to confuse them for a half, and the Bama game is everyone's superbowl. But on the plus side they finally don't have to play Ole Miss before the depth problem kicks in, they get Arkansas while they are still trying to remember how to complete a forward pass and don't have to go to the center of voodoo black magic, a.k.a Jordan Hare Stadium. Oh, and Tennessee still sux.
