While that is very impressive.


Look around you.

The rest of the SEC is Hot DooDoo.

I'd say we are 3rd behind the ACC and Big 10 this year

Unfortunately you are right. Alabama's pre-season slate has been easy this year and I'm worried they aren't going to be battle tested for the games that matter.

While I'm inclined to agree with you, I think Death Valley at night for Jalen Hurts was crucial to his development as a QB. That may be the difference in how he reacts to adversity in the playoffs.

Down 21 points on the road to Ole Miss, before they imploded.

110,000 screaming hillbillies in knoxvegas

0-0 late in the second half in the red stick against an extremely talented and well coached D, (possibly 2nd best in the nation)

Overcomes umpteen turnovers in the iron bowl against a stout auburn D

About to face a top 10 D in the gators this weekend???

Not sure there's a team out there more battle tested

OSU. Road games at Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Penn State. Down 10 to a top 5 Michigan in the last game of the season towards the end of the 3rd quarter.

I'll give you that. But the edge is minimal IMhO

Ole miss was similar to the Sooners early in the season. And they came out of the gates kickin our arse.

We played USC at a neutral site.

Winning in Baton Rouge is no easy task.

I'm not saying we're the most tested, but it's not like our schedule has been a cake walk.

Are y'all playing MIT or Cal Tech?

Watch out for that Heisenberg Uncertainty play, where if you know who has the ball, you don't know where he is!
