Is Nick Saban Leading a Dark Horse in the Alabama Crimson Tide?

 
Hello fellow Crimson Tide fans, This is my first publication, so it will be short and sweet. Something that really has bugged me for the past year has been the lack of coverage of the rise of the Alabama football team under Coach Nick Saban. For instance, all of Alabama's losses (check all box scores to suit yourself) were by seven points or less and were decided in the final minutes of gameplay. Think about it for a moment: Alabama actually had the chance to go undefeated LAST season.  Imagine what they can do this season. Also, I'd like to look at the upcoming schedule for the Crimson Tide.  Georgia has looked average at best, LSU has yet to be tested, and Auburn looks as pathetic as Idaho. Alabama once again has the opportunity to run the table and will be the dark horse this year for the BCS National Championship Game—or at the very least, a Sugar Bowl bid. Thank you and Roll Tide.
