Let's pretend for a nanosecond that Michigan really was the No. 8 team in the country and that Denard Robinson really was a Heisman Trophy candidate.

What does that say about No. 2 Alabama and the way it plucked the fur out of the Wolverines' season, strand by strand, Saturday evening at Cowboys Stadium? And if you're Western Kentucky, Bama's next opponent, aren't you thinking of calling in sick Sept. 8?

The Crimson Tide didn't just beat the Wolverines 41-14; they toyed with them. Embarrassed them. Treated them like an honorary cupcake. You didn't know whether it was Michigan or DeVry Institute.

That's what Alabama can do to you. That's what happens when Bama coach Nick Saban has forever to prepare a game plan and a fish net for the previously confounding Robinson. The senior quarterback wasn't invisible, but he was inconsequential....

Among the great quotes:

"Saban's wife, Terry, could have gained at least 50 yards running behind Bama's massively skilled offensive line."

About last year: "a defense that tackled you as soon as you stepped off the bus."
