TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- It’s the bye week, so forgive us for looking ahead a bit.
With Alabama trying to complete on a wire-to-wire run as the No. 1 team in college football and a trip to LSU still more than a week away, there’s time to step back and analyze where things stand. And, no, we’re not talking about the seemingly forgone conclusion also known as the SEC race.
We’re not even talking about whether Nick Saban’s team is well-positioned for the College Football Playoff, either.
Well, not this year’s playoff at least.
Yes, we’re about to go there.
