How many teams last year only lost five or six games? Four or five, maybe.

Ohio State on a neutral court, Utah on the road, Kentucky, Florida, Arkansas
(twice), Georgia, LSU (twice), Ole Miss, and Mississippi State (twice) are real
slouches. Bama also will host Providence, Xavier, and Ball State. Sure, they
aren't Kansas and Maryland. If the Tide only loses two or three of those games,
I'll be surprised.

Indiana refused to play Alabama in the upcoming season. Coaches Davis &
Gottfried both wanted it to happen, but the IU administration balked.
