Ironically enough, previewing the SEC alphabetically brings Alabama being first. The Alabama Crimson Tide aren't only previewed first, but they are going to finish first. Nick Saban has won 24 consecutive regular season games and it does not appear that streak will end. To possibly win 36 consecutive regular season games is a thought and an achievement that is unthinkable in college football today. With recruiting wars at an all-time high and and a different era in the sport (with the addition of the internet.) Even though Marcel Dareus is being probed by the NCAA, that is the best thing to happen for Nick Saban at SEC Media Days. Most media members asked Coach Saban about agents and such rather than talking about making it to Glendale. I can see why he also liked changing the subject away from agents, too. He made it very clear that agents was a must topic, but at the same time he wants to talk about fall camp and "the process" that begins with San Jose State. Looking at the depth and the starting rotation of the Crimson Tide, the only gray area comes in the kicking game. I proposed the question to Coach Saban regarding the only gray are of the team (below the article.) There is no question the Tide should run the SEC schedule with close games to Arkansas and others. Look for the Tide to take on and defeat Ohio State in Glendale this January.
