Just for fun, I sat down and tried to imagine Alabama winning it all again. I'd been thinking this could be a 12-1 team or even 11-2 if the ball bounces wrong with a new QB and games at Penn State, Florida and Mississippi State, and LSU visiting.

Can anyone seriously argue that top rankings in recruiting don't matter? Seriously? You think that?
