Alabama Hypothetical.

This is just a hypothetical situation, but I can't remember seeing Alabama with a schedule this tough in at least the last decade. So many losable games, so i'll pose a hypothetical(calm down gumps, it's just offseason fodder) so let's go down the list.
Week 1) I wouldn't pick the Badgers to win, but what happens if Bama quarterback play is just atrocious and Wisconsin somehow pulls the upset in Dallas? You know the B1G wants SEC blood, and Wiscy will be hyped up. Again, wouldn't pick this to happen, but it is a losable game.
Week 3) What happens if Ole Miss' defense is as advertised, Chad Kelly ends up being at least serviceable, and Bama's new Quarterback gets abused by the Rebel's punishing D-Line/Secondary in his first SEC start, and OM's receivers embarrass that questionable Bama secondary?? I wouldn't put money on the Rebs to win, but it seems like it's a very losable game if Ole Miss is what they are advertised to be, more so than Wisconsin.
Week 5) @ Georgia. By this point UGA might actually have their quarterback situation stabilized, and i'd actually pick the Dawgs to take this one at home in a classic that everybody will love watching.
So what happens in the event that Bama loses even 2 of their first 5 games with another 6 SEC games left to play? Does a coordinator get fired? Do they bench Coker and just start getting this Cornwell kid reps. What does that scenario look like? I mean I think they will lose at least 1 of those, and while I think 2 or 3 is unlikely, it's still a very real possibility, especially from what I'v heard about their Quarterback situation. I just can't remember ever seeing Bama starting a season like that since Saban hit is stride. Thoughts?

I have many more thoughts on your post, but I'm trying to be cool.

We won't freak out with a 9 or 10 win n season slick. We'll be disappointed but it's all the Bama haters that will do the melting. Funny though that a down year at Bama is better than a great year for everyone else. Mark it down though, Bama will win at least 12 games again and we'll all ask this same question again next summer.

what if Bama skullfricks all those teams and jumps to #1 in the polls?
oh yeah, that'd be same shite, different day.

Who, in the blue hell, are you?
Bama could very well have a down year. I doubt coordinators get fired during the season. Some may be encouraged to look around after the season is over.
If it's a bad year, we as fans will just have to endure the trolling from other fanbases and alts (such as yourself).
Also, frick (insert your favorite team here).

So you give Georgia the benefit of the doubt that their QB situation will have stabilized by week 5, but no mention that the same is likely for Bama by that point?

Hypothetically speaking, what if you stop making threads?

TLDR
Bama is your head, buddy.

Jesus H Christ some of you are sensitive!
Y'all can't even discuss a hypothetical in a non-flame thread without being offended by the hypothetical proposition of your team losing a couple of games.
It's the offseason... Someone actually puts in the effort to type up a topic and give us something to talk about and half of you act like that's some sort of criminal act.
