I am in no way an Alabama fan or an SEC fan. But I consider my self an objective observer in games that don't involve the Miami Hurricanes. I watched every Alabama game played last year, mainly because they came out of the gate strong against Clemson and it intrigued me that Alabama might be "back". And they are "back". That team that took the field in the Sugar Bowl was not the same team that went into Athens and beat the crap out of the then #2 team in the country. I'm not saying Utah wasn't good, I'm just saying that team, Saban included, felt they should've gotten another shot at Florida for the National Title. You think those boys from Bama were excited about the opportunity to play Utah??? Seriously, Utah? They could not have cared any less about that game and it showed. Are you saying Alabama all of a sudden became untalented? Utah did a nice thing for their school by beating Alabama, but you need to be objective about it and realize they wouldn't have even been there had they played an SEC schedule throughout the year. Hell, they might not be able to make it through the ACC and I am of the belief the ACC is well behind the SEC.
