I'm not sold on Michigan and USC.
Alabama has been tested by aTm, Arkansas, and Texas, and has survived them all, but they don't look like a number one team to me.
Georgia doesn't either.
Don't get me wrong. I don't want to be number one until the season's over and the trophies are in the cases. I recognize the team which wins all the marbles doesn't have to look good; they just have to manage an ügly win week after week.
Question. How's Tennessee's defense? Particularly how's the potential for their defense? Have they reached their ceiling?
My ongoing and forever hypothesis is defense wins championships. Our defense isn't where we want it just yet, but it's not near its ceiling either. I believe we have the talent, so things can be fixed, and experience will help a lot.
An interesting season so far.
Go, Dawgs!
Dawgs #2...I'm good.
I see Bama is getting that poll love again. They nearly got beaten, at home, by an unranked 3-2 Texas A&M team. They should've dropped a few spots, like most any other team would've. They may very well be the best team in the country, but they certainly didn't look the part yesterday. I know these polls may not mean much right now, but if we're going to have them, they need to be fair to all the teams.
My top 5 after yesterday's showing.
GO DAWGS!
Keep in mind AL played their 2nd string QB yesterday. His 1st start. Because of his 3 turnovers it was a close game. Is he AL's new starting QB? Will BYoung be back? Obviously the other coaches think BYoung is coming back.
I think BYoung will be back. But when? Saban in a tough spot this week. A sprained shoulder on someone expecting to throw 40-50 passes is a problem. AL needs BYoung to play this week but BYoung can't be pain free throwing the ball yet. I think he plays some and AL runs the ball more than usual. Statement game for AL defense.
A loss by AL to TN doesn't mean much to deciding the SECW. BUT a loss to TN probably forces AL to win out and win the SEC to make the playoffs.
