Trent Richardson and No. 2 Alabama have convinced Nick Saban that they're worthy of competing for college football's top prize. They'll have to wait a while before the final decision is rendered. Richardson rushed for a career-high 203 yards and AJ McCarron threw three first-half touchdown passes to lift Alabama to a 42-14 victory over rival Auburn (No. 24 BCS) on Saturday in what amounted to a statement game.
