Purchased this morning. Read through, always appreciate the layout and presentation of College Football Magazines. The work that goes in must be exhausting and they are gambling by releasing so much, so soon. While most of the projected depth charts will be missed, I thumbed through and read up on Alabama and my New Mexico State Aggies of course...
Here is what stood out

Q and A with Minkah Fitzpatrick
It's well done. When Fitzpatrick is asked, why he chose Alabama. "The main thing was the demand for excellence here. I feel like I'm kind of that way on myself and the people around me always demand the best.

Alabama allowed a nation-leading 4.0 yards per play and hasn't allowed above a 5.0 per play since 2006, pre-Nick Saban.

"Until someone beats them, I'd say they are the team to beat. They get whoever they want in recruiting - like, really, anybody they want."
Projected Record
12-1, 7-1 in SEC Play
Bowl Projections
Alabama vs. Washington in the Sugar Bowl
Alabama vs. Ohio State in the National Championship
Quick hit on my New Mexico State Aggies
The magazine has the wrong logo for their layout. They actually have the Logo for the Lobos instead. That is like having the Auburn Logo when referring to Alabama. Burn. Aggie's projected record is 3-9 and 2-6 in Sun Belt Play. We open up with Arizona State in Tempe and then take on New Mexico for the Battle of I-25. Host Troy and end the year getting South Alabama at home!!! #GunsUp
(Logo should be the Aggies!!!!)
