Producing a winning season is easy for most college football teams. It is winning consistently and having a style of dominance behind it that is not so simple.
Three things arrive with every waking moment: a new scenery, new accomplishments and new challenges. For the Alabama Crimson Tide, this upcoming season will provide two of those three things. After winning two BCS National Championships, it is clear that Alabama is the measuring stick in the Southeastern Conference and every team wants a shot at dethroning them.
One of the main aspects that coach Saban teaches his players is how to play through adversity. The Crimson Tide faced adversity in four games last season, three of them (Ole Miss, LSU and Georgia) resulted in victories. The second thing we know about Nick Saban is that he doesnāt dwell on the past too long. Like a chess game, his mind is constantly going forward and anticipating whatās on the other side of the horizon for the Tide.
Along with coach Saban and Alabama, other teams in the SEC are poised to make a run to Pasadena, Calif., and have the opportunity to hoist up a national championship. The one thing separating these teams from doing so is a trip to Bryant-Denny Stadium.
This season, half of Alabamaās SEC schedule will be played inside of the ruckus stadium filled with 101,821 fans. Though having home-field advantage will be good for the Tide, it may also send a signal of confidence toward the underdogs that will try to defeat the defending champions.
With this being said, here are the teams in the SEC that Alabama will need to keep its eye on in the 2013 College Football Season.
