Who is a paper tiger this year? I personally feel Alabama may be one. They have no clear winner at qb and bad qb play can make a good team bad real quick. They have a lot of talent but are totally unproven offensively. They will miss Amari Cooper and have had a lot of injuries in the backfield. The only reason they are ranked high is because of the Saban factor and their defense. Saban also has shown some nicks in his armor in the past couple years.
