AllState Sugar Bowl - Utah v Alabama

I’m going to make a prediction, don’t quote me on this.  Okay?  I’m going to predict at this time next year, I will be guessing whether Roll Tide will be winning its 5th national title in 6 years.  Although Nick Saban’s army lost nine players to the 2013 NFL draft (the most of any team in college football), they also happen to have THE BEST RECRUITING CLASS coming in, per Rivals.com.
