GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) – There is no reason to ask whether Alabama can contend for another national championship under Nick Saban in 2016.
It is practically a foregone conclusion. Alabama has become the surest thing in sports.
In the last seven years, Nick Saban’s team has won more national championships than it hasn’t and only once lost more than two games.
Next season, the Tide will probably go into the season as No. 1. Maybe No. 2.
The next wave of Alabama stars could include running back Bo Scarbrough and quarterback Blake Barnett. The Tide will lose a small army of talent to the NFL draft and then reload with another platoon of five-star recruits.
