College Football Predictions Offense: Greg McElroy still hasn’t lost a game, having gone 14–0 in his first season in charge and totaling 2,508 passing yards. While he lacked the big-play proficiency of other star quarterbacks, McElroy proved solid in his decision-making and leadership. Ingram’s 1,658 rushing yards in 2009 were the most in school history, butRichardson tallied 751 yards as a true freshman and played a leading role in victories over Auburn and Texas. Saban wants more balance in his offense this season, which means that Alabama will likely be more committed to throwing the football. Sportsbook.com has the Alabama Crimson Tide's 2011 BCS National Championship Odds at +400.

College Football Predictions Defense: Josh Chapman and Kerry Murphy take over nosetackle duties. At end, junior Marcell Dareus is a budding star,and proven senior Luther Davis has played in every game the past two seasons. Dont’a Hightower will anchor a linebacking corps that will feature new starters at both outside positions. Junior Jerrell Harris, a once-touted signee, is poised for a breakout year after missing six games last year because of suspension. The largest question mark on Alabama’s team is the secondary, which lost pretty much every contributor in the two-deep except junior safety Mark Barron. True freshmen DeMarcus Milliner and John Fulton are capable options, as is Phelon Jones, a junior who sat out last season after transferring from LSU. The Alabama Crimson Tide's 2010 NCAA Betting Odds win total is at 10 with the Over at -130.
