Not as well as Saban would like I'm sure. I think they'll get better. Do you think anybody in the BIG12 would beat them?
This is why your affinity(and expectations) for defense will continue to morph.

20. Oklahoma
25. Iowa State
26. TCU
40. Texas
59. Kansas
60. Kansas State

Alabama is only ranked ahead of Texas Tech in total defense! Lol
LOL. Do you honestly think West Virginia has a better defense than Alabama?

Do I think the best defensive team in the country is better than the #61 defensive team? Yes

Alabama doesn't play defense this year
Maybe they'll meet a BIG 12 team in the CFP so we can see head to head? LOL. Just kidding....no we won't.

Bias towards teams that also play defense? YES. My so called bias against Oklahoma is a result of what they have done when they actually made the CFP. Alabama also needs to get better on defense to win it all this year I think but their offensive weapons are impressive.
Alabama is trash on Defense this year. So how can you say what you said

So it's wrong for me to think that Alabama is better than anyone in the BIG 12? I said they need to get better on defense and I think they will. I don't think they start a single SR.

You said you weren't impressed with teams that don't play defense. Alabama doesn't play defense this year

No it's fine to have that opinion. I'm just calling out your hypocrisy of saying they will be fine for the CFP but if it were Oklahoma you'd be hammering them cause of the no defense situation.
