Don't look now, but here come the Alabama Crimson Tide.

When they lost to South Carolina, I wondered aloud if Alabama would be able to crawl back into the BCS championship conversation.

It seems they're doing just that, even with a bye week.

Although, you probably want to thank Michigan State and Missouri for where they are especially with those two previously unbeaten teams now no longer unbeaten.

However, don't look now, but they will have to fight and scratch to be able to stay where they are or move up in the rankings.

They will have LSU, Mississippi State, Georgia State, and Auburn to finish the season. You didn't think this was going to be easy did you?
