CBS Preseason SEC rankings has us 5th behind UK, Florida, Tenn and Mizzou. I think that is fair. That is four pretty good teams.
I do not like the following quote. The writer spend more time taking about one starter and one bust that left the team rather than four returning starters and three good looking new comers.
This Alabama team isn't going to be what it could've been because Trevor Lacey -- the only Crimson Tide player to start every game last season -- transferred to North Carolina State this summer, and because Devonta Pollard -- a former five-star recruit -- got caught up in a kidnapping scheme and withdrew from school. That's a pair of one-time heralded Alabama signees who are now out of the program earlier than anybody could've reasonably anticipated, and it's a setback as Anthony Grant enters his fifth season in Tuscaloosa. But there's still enough on the roster -- like Trevor Releford, Rodney Cooper and Levi Randolph -- to keep Alabama in the top half of the SEC, and, if things break properly, Grant could find himself in the NCAA tournament for the second time in three seasons.
