-- We won't waste your time this week by showing idle Alabama's small moves up and down the national stat sheet based on the actions of others.
Instead, we'll do what we did during last year's bye week and compare where Alabama stands at this point of the year compared to where it was in 2009, 2011 and 2012.
You know, the years that ended where Alabama wants to be at the conclusion of its 2013 campaign.
