In the usually hyper-competitive SEC West division, the Tide enjoyed down years from LSU and Auburn in 2008. The team lost to upstart Utah in the Sugar Bowl, but the team is poised for more success in Tuscaloosa, a welcome change for fans used to having nothing but the Bear Bryant days to pine for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gambling Odds from Betus.com to win BCS: +1900<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Alabama must replace career passing leader John Parker Wilson, but Greg McElroy has looked strong in spring and has a pair of gifted wideouts in Julio Jones and Mike McCoy. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.betus.com\/ats\/11892\/mid\/1401\/promo\/football\/getmore\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/a> The defense returns nine starters from a strong 2008 unit. Six-foot-four, 250 lb middle linebacker Rolando McClain and speedy corner\/return man Javier Arenas highlight the D.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Team Strengths<\/strong><br \/>\nMark Ingram, Roy Upchurch, Terry Grant and top-ranked frosh Trent Richardson compose a deep, strong backfield. McCoy and Jones can make crazy plays and newcomer tight end Colin Peek should make his presence felt.<\/p>\n<p>Massive defensive tackle (pushing 370 lbs!) Terrance Cody will lead the charge in stuffing the run, which the Tide will do well. In the SEC, a breeding ground for professional ballplayers, running the ball and stopping the run is always a strong formula.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Team Weaknesses<\/strong><br \/>\nUndoubtedly, McElroy will have a learning curve under center. Being Alabama\u2019s starting quarterback is some of the most pressure an individual can feel in the Deep South; it took Wilson a couple seasons to be truly productive. We\u2019ll see how the junior McElroy rises to the challenge. Star Jackson and sought-after frosh A.J. McCarron are waiting in the wings if McElroy \u2018shits the bed,\u2019 to use a parlance of our times.<\/p>\n<p>It will be tougher sledding for \u2019Bama in 2009. Ole Miss is everyone\u2019s trendy pick in the West, also, LSU and Auburn will bounce back to some extent.<\/p>\n<p>The Tide must face two Top 10 teams on the road (Virginia Tech and Ole Miss) but Alabama will be geared up when they go to Oxford to face its division foe. Expect the Crimson Tide to still be the class of the SEC West.<\/p>\n<h3>2009 Alabama Crimson Tide Record Prediction: 12-2<\/h3>\n<p><strong>James has been naming every player on the EA Sports NCAA video game rosters for half a decade now, he&#8217;s finally putting his knowledge to better use.
