Official College Football Preview:Alabama Crimson Tide

8. Alabama Crimson Tide Key Game:Virginia Tech, 9/5/09

Last year was a dream season for the Crimson Tide. They started the season 23rd in the nation but finished 6 with wins against Clemson and Georgia. This year things look look very different. Alabama doesn't have quarterback John Parker Wilson, Glenn Coffee or Andre Smith. But, they have huge tackle Terrence Cody. And first year starting quarterback Greg McElroy has similarities compared to Colt McCoy. The Tide will not look like last year but they will challenge Florida for the SEC Championship, once again.
