They're 10-0 and #1 in the country.
Saban: I'm certainly not satisfied with where we are right now.

I actually believe him, but what coach would say yeah, I'm happy with where we are... no need to improve?

Purely as a football fan, I would love to see if Saben went back to the NFL would he be successful this time? I just don't see someone like that failing twice.

BTW, there's still a big gap between bama and Ohio state, but that gap is closing. Meyer's team is starting to peak and they have the athletes to challenge bama. Really hope penn state loses in these next couple weeks to open the door for Ohio state. Love urban vs saban games

If the dolphins woulda let him run his show and give him full reigns, he probably would've won a super bowl.

I don't know about that, but he would've certainly benefited if team doctors would've cleared brees

I'd like to see a game with Ohio State and Alabama called fairly and not using SEC refs.

LOL Saban is never satisfied. He is pretty much a perfectonist. He can always find something that his team needs to be better at and how to keep them focused and up for each game.

Ohio state is in.

Ohio state is in.
Right now if penn state and Ohio state win out, penn state goes to big10 championship. If penn state wins the big10 and beat Ohio state, I don't see how you could put Ohio state in over penn state... maybe both make it

So all it takes is a lack of complacency from the coach?

This is the reason Bama is #1. The best coach in the NCAA knew this rule and used it, but the 2nd best coach didn't. And I'm betting he wasn't the only one that didn't know.

If they're in a bowl or playoff game, they would use neutral conference officials. Only time I could see using SEC officials is if Bama traveled to Ohio State during the regular season (like we did when we went to BYU earlier this year; not sure who they'll use next year since they're Independent but I don't expect SEC).

Bammer is #1 because they have Drummond money propping up the program, that has lead to unprecedented prosperity for everything else.

I don't think the NCAA will allow this to happen much longer.

If the committee is justifying putting in 2 teams from 1 conference, it should be Clemson & Lville if they win out. Both would probably destroy Penn St. and probably beat OSU as of now. OSU is probably getting much better tho.

So could this become a new line item on the budget? Can we pay Trent Richardson to come to our practice and work over our LBs to prepare for this weekend? Do it!

Alabama is #1 because:
They have had 6 straight number 1 ranked recruiting classes
Their HC is the best Defensive coach in college football
Their HC evolved with the offensive revolution going on in college football- changing his offensive philosophy from conservative to Spread and hurry up concepts. Saban's offenses now compared to when he was at LSU are night and day.
Their support of their program is 2nd to none. The state lives and breathes Bama football
Thats why they are what they are

Awww shit ... we screwed. We don't have enough virgins to offer up to maybe move up that hierarchy ******** Now I understand more clearly why we remain at the bottom of the SEC W.

More than likely ... but everyone thought that in 2014 too. I think there are 2 or 3 teams that might could give them fits. Unfortunately 2 are in the ACC and only 1 of those will come out of that. Michigan isn't one ... they'll never score a point. Not sure how good their D really is either based on their competition so far. OSU might could give Bama a tussle. Bama destroys Washington.

I'd sweat Ohio State and Clemson because they've elite talent and a stud QB... L'ville, Washington, Michigan, Wisconsin, Okie, Penn St., LSU, USC... not so much.

Not that it will happen, but USC would be a better game in a rematch now that they have darnold at qb. Bama would still win, but much, much closer.

I tend to agree ... would like to see Lville match up with them but would be concerned with their D against Bama. Their O could do as well as OM for sure. Petrino good coach, and good game coach.
ETA: Let me rephrase. Lville's O is a more threatening and complete O than OM. After Bama has gotten better over the entire year they may not fair as well as OM did in 3rd game of season in Oxford.
Don't count out a Meyer team. If they get in they will make some noise. They have the athletes to compete with Bama. If I was Bama the only team I would even blink at would be OSU. Clemson could probably give them a decent game but I don't know if their OL is good enough to hang in there for 4qtrs.

Bottom line: If Bama shows up and doesn't turn the ball over nobody is going to beat them this year.

Don't forget their ability to get almost every borderline player eligible, avoid NCAA punishment for violations that would kill us, and the ability to make off the field issues disappear.

You left out the obligatory "the SEC refs help em cheat"....
