Last year to close the season we saw Bama take on three top five teams to close the season: UGA, OU, and Clemson.
It's not out of the world to think LSU, A&M, and Auburn could all be ranked next season. Next year could easily see Bama closing out its season playing in its last seven games, six ranked in the top 25 and the last three in the top ten if not top five.
