Only two of last year's top 10 Heisman Trophy vote getters are back on the field this season. Only four of the 26 consensus All-Americans from one year ago have returned.
Nick Saban, he of the seven national championships, seven of the past 10 SEC titles and the "a'ight" that has always carried the weight of Thor's hammer, is off the sidelines for the first time since 1970, now on the road with ESPN's "College GameDay."
So in this season of transition, of confusion, of a perpetually shapeshifting college football atlas, who now stands alone as the beacon of the sport?
