Some legitimate college football experts already suggest there is a gap between Alabama football – and everybody else. Everybody else means more than the SEC, it means all of college football.
Other than we are only five weeks into the 2018 season, it is hard to find fault in the gap premise. Alabama football is by no means perfect. No team ever is. What it is, is stunningly good on offense and better on defense than had been expected.
A valid counterpoint is this Alabama football team has not been tested. Perhaps equally valid is the lesser experienced members of the Crimson Tide will continue to improve.
