The tables have turned.
Of the many remarkable attributes of Saban's reign, I consider the Tide’s unrelenting staying power to be chief among them.
It is a rite of the offseason for the media to predict Alabama to win the SEC West and usually the conference as a whole. Not since 2012 have sportswriters who cover the conference predicted that the SEC West would be ruled by something other than the script A. LSU was tapped as division favorite that year. Alabama won the conference and the national championship.Alabama has opened the season ranked No.
Of course, January predictions are more of a fool’s errand than ever thanks to the rate of player movement and how transfers affect the product. "I don’t think our good players are going to be leaving," Saban said then,"but I think we’ll be able to get some good players to join us." To wit, linebacker Drew Sanders transferred last offseason and became a first-team All-SEC performer at Arkansas.
Saban spoke in November about how this team felt an unyielding pressure to deliver an outcome that matched lofty expectations.
