Has Sports Illustrated Predicted Another Auburn Title?Sports Illustrated's College Preview issue will be released this week. In the Southeast, Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron will grace the cover, along with Alabama's #1 preseason ranking. Who cares, right? It's just a cover. It's just another prediction. I'm sure Alabama will field a fine team. I just hope Sports Illustrated is as right as they were last time.
