National media jumps on the Alabama football hype train

Several members of the national media have jumped on the Alabama football hype train.

Here is what is being said about the Tide ahead of Alabama facing Georgia:

I want you to think about how good Ty Simpson was last year. The 13th pick in the draft. And here’s what’s crazy, Russell is way better. Bama’s a problem for everybody. AGAIN!
