Here we go again.
A low season is never a low season, unless a media outlet or journalist publishes information about Alabama football that is no longer the best.

Alabama turned criticism into a national title, and now ESPN’s Brad Edwards is re-emerging an old story. After his sophomore year without a college football playoff title, Edwards made an SEC preview video last week and said Tide is no longer the undisputed king of the SEC.

With a healthy roster and new sports performance staff, Saban he hopes to make the national media eat his words again.
It was the third year in a series to serve as a national title year. This fall marks the third year in a series for Alabama.
