Alabama DST

Yes, Alabama gets lots of four and five-star recruits every year, but there still has to be a big decline awaiting in 2012. They'll still be a top DST in all formats, but the Crimson Tide from last year was one of the best defenses you'll see, and the loss of players like Mark Barron, Dre Kirkpatrick, Dont'a Hightower, Courtney Upshaw, Josh Chapman and DeQuan Menzie will really hurt. Definitely target LSU and Michigan State before Alabama, and probably teams like Georgia and Florida State, too.
