Is anyone else out there concerned about the upcoming year?  Saban's first year it was all about the 4th quarter program and getting everyone in shape.  Last year every other word was 'finish'.  Both years it was all part of  "The Process".  This year, Saban seems happy.   The last time we were happy and ranked highly in the pre-season things did not go well.  By the end of the 2000 season, we had simply imploded.   

I think that we have too much talent (in players and coaches) to implode like we did back then (at least I hope so), but everyone seems to have either LSU or Ole Miss as a dark horse to win it all and we play them both, not to mention VT on day 1.   A good team with our schedule could be 9-3. 

Am I just paranoid, or are we going to make a run for it all like we did last year?     

Thanks
