My bold and fearless prediction for 2011 is that Alabama is going to end the season ranked around #10. I know they've recruited very, very, well . . . but Alabama has the fewest returning starters in the SEC. Even though Saban is a great coach (and an @$#hole) I don't see how he can overcome that lack of experience in the SEC.
I feel similarly about Texas.
Both teams will have great potential . . . but they haven't shown me anything yet.
