Only one more day until it's here. Again. Since Alabama spent its margin for error on September 19, the Tide has successfully walked the tight-rope. They marched into Athens as an underdog for the first time in years and utterly destroyed a previously promising season for the Bulldogs. They had their struggles at times offensively in the following three games, but rode a dominant defense to wins over Arkansas, Texas A&M, and Tennessee. When the first college football poll came out this week, there was Alabama at #4, much to the chagrin of many in the national media and the bulk of college football fans across the country.
