This team has plenty of talent, and could beat anyone on any given day (except Alabama), assuming that it stays relatively healthy, and the games are called fairly by the referees, but that could be said about almost any top 25 team.
It's probably not good enough to beat the top notch teams when things are tilted away from the fairness median. For a team to be truly great, it should be able to overcome referee bias, unlucky breaks, etc., and we're simply not there yet. Maybe this is the year that we reach that benchmark, but until they prove themselves, I stand by my statement.
I will, of course, be happy to eat as much crow as I can, if I'm proven wrong on the latter mark.
