All in all, it seems like a pretty fair evaluation.

I'd really like to see this come true:

IT'S HIS TIME: Alabama needs someone to provide a pass rush now that Wallace Gilberry has departed. Brandon Deaderick probably is the best candidate to fill the void. Deaderick had only two sacks while starting seven games last season, but Tide coaches are counting on him to step up his production this season.

I have no issue with it.

Frankly, there are many aspects about this year that I am taking a "Show Me" attitude about. For instance, until Tebow is out performed he has to be the favorite for the Heisman. Until Georgia's brutal schedule gets the better of them they are my favorite to win it all. Until Bama wins in the close games that they have faded in then #29 is were they have earned to be.

One area where I am at odds with the rankings is with Auburn. With a new OC and DC, a win against Clemson in the bowl is not enough to convince me that they deserve top 20.

#29 is very fair. I am just glad that we are not over-rated.

Clemson had nothing to prepare for in that offense. They went into that game almost blind. They still held their own which makes Clemson that more impressive.

And, it ain't where you start that counts, but where you finish.
