It feels risky to put too many expectations on Alabama in the first year post Nick Saban. But until that program proves that it's going to take a step backward, it also feels risky to count the Crison Tide out.

The schedule isn't easy for the Tide, though. They have a home tilt against Georgia and road trips to LSU, Tennessee, and OU the last of which is one week prior to the Iron Bowl in what could be an interesting trap game.
