Two months ago, if you would have told me that the Tide would be 5-0 including a win at Georgia, I would have called you crazy. Strangely, however, I felt it coming all week. (I also feel a big letdown game is coming this week against Kentucky, which scares me.)

Since Bama won the big "Game of the Week", they were covered by all of the national guys. Here's a good sampling of what is being said about them nationally.

All are good reads and makes the day after that much more fun.

The Tide Might Be Ranked #1 This week - Pat Forde - ESPN.com

While I find this highly unlikely, I guess you could make a case for it. However, it doesn't matter and it just feels good to have your team's name mentioned in the Top 10.

You can be happy with the win, but Saban says we lost 30-10 in the second half - Dan Wetzel - Yahoo.com

Also a very valid point by Saban. Alabama failed to put away the game in the 2nd half. If we keep having those same mental errors, we're going to let some team hang around and beat us somewhere down the line.

Welcome back to the top Bama - Dennis Dodd - CBS.Sportsline.com

Dodd makes the point that Alabama has beaten 2 Top 10 ranked teams on the road, and thus has the best resume to be ranked #1. Although let's be fair, Clemson may not be a Top 25 team at this point. He also talks about how Alabama took it to Georgia and dominated the first half. Umm, the second half is not mentioned as much...

Alabama dashed Georgia's title hopes - Andy Staples - SI.com

Not so fast my friend. Let's say Georgia convincingly runs the table from here on out. People won't remember the 31-0 first half, they'll remember that Georgia made a game out of it in the second half. Remember, this loss happened in September. There is a lot of time left for the Dawgs to resurrect themselves nationally.

Special Teams Play could haunt the Tide down the Stretch - playisunderreview.com

Yes, Georgia scored 30 points in the second half, but let's look at how it happened.

They scored one touchdown on a punt return (and yes there was holding and a block in the back not called on that play, but you have to overcome those things).

Georgia also had a long kickoff return which gave them the ball on the Alabama 40, which led to a touchdown. This has been a trademark of this team. For some reason they can't cover the kickoff. Georgia was almost in field goal position when they started their offense.

Alabama also failed to hold on to the onside kick, which led to another touchdown (I think). Had they recovered the onside kick, Alabama's tired defense would have stayed off of the field.

A win is a win, right? I'm not "drinking the Kool-Aid" yet, but I'm getting closer. And yes, I'll address my boy, Kareem Jackson's play later...
