National championship Tragic end, new beginning will require stars to align By Jason Galloway Sports Editor [email protected]

I wish I could be optimistic. I want to point to the fact that the last three national champions before Alabama last year finished the season with a blemish on their record. I want to reiterate that the winner of the Southeastern Conference has won the past four national championships. But it is the rest of the country — not the Tide, not the SEC — that forces me to examine the Crimson Tide’s national championship chances without any buoyancy. Alabama’s loss to South Carolina Saturday did not knock the Tide out of the national championship hunt, but chances are, the reward for winning the rest of its games will be no more than a bowl of sugar. Not to say that wouldn’t still be a fan- tastic season, but any school that sees its team begin the season at No. 1 always expects to finish there. There are 11 undefeated teams left in the FBS, which is high for this point in the season. Let’s take a look at the possi- bility of a one-loss Alabama team finishing in one of the nation’s top two spots. If Alabama wins out, it will take care CW | Drew Hoover South Carolina senior cornerback Chris Culliver tackles Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy during the Gamecocks’ 35-21 victory over the Crimson Tide Saturday.
