SEC race wide open, but watch Bama
It’s foolish to make a call five weeks into the season on who’s going to win the conference, especially this conference. But there are some clear indicators out there.
The combination of experience at quarterback and strength up front in both lines of scrimmage are the first areas you look to when you’re handicapping the SEC race.
At this point, Alabama has been better than anybody else in the league in the trenches, and senior quarterback John Parker Wilson is playing with the kind of poise, purpose and smarts that Alabama coach Nick Saban told me back in August would be crucial if the Crimson Tide were going to take a major step this season.
They’ve taken more than a major step. They’ve taken a step to the head of the conference.
