23rd National Championship here we come! The tide start the path to dominance and national recognition this fall. I personally predict no team will come within 15 points of the Tide, however I could be underestimating them.

1. don't get carried away

It would be only number 13. But I like your optimism! :)

2. If Auburn gets to count that Peoples Championship from 2004

I am counting every time any organization labeled us NC's.

3. I think 15 points is optimistic,

but I'm witcha on the 14 games.

Roll Tide!

4. I'm worried by that textbook thing

It doesn't sound like a big deal to me. But we all know that the NCAA hates the Tide. And Reggie Bush, for example, was outright paid to play for USC, and not a peep. The hypocrisy!

5. I think a NC is possible.

Our only real point of question is at quarterback, but from seeing him at A day and hearing reports from insiders McElroy is progressing much better than JPW did and he's got a better arm and better mechanics. Plus he realizes if you throw it up around Julio he will come down with it 80% of the time. He's 6'4 and most DB's are around 5'10, and Julio can leap. We have an amazing stable of running backs, a good offensive line that will get better as the year progresses, and the best defense in the country. Cody has lost some weight and found some speed. Bama is back and domination is afoot.
