Their schedule is very favorable from here on out. Very impressed with yesterday's win after trailing by 21. Saban may be better than Bear Bryant at the end of the day. Y'all own Death Valley lately, and les is a lame duck so I don't have the same feelings of us winning that game. Tennessee is especially with their missing star defenders, and the toughest remaining game (A&M) is at BDS.

I expect an undefeated Bama team this year. They are above everyone else in this conference by a mile, and it pains me to admit it

Obviously they aren't "above every one else by a mile"


How many years in a row now a Saban defense has given up 40 points at least?

They allow 40 to elite offenses only ~ once a year. LSU has only scored over 20 points on Bama once since 2009 (24 in 2010).. At the end of the day, Bama won one their toughest games on the schedule, and I don't see anyone else who can beat them.

I don't know, road trips to Tennessee and LSU could easily be losses. And you just never know with Auburn.

I'm confident Bama COULD run the table, this team is fricking fantastic, but it's just so hard to do, especially with the need to play 15 to win it all.

No. Just no. Our D is done and our offense never was.

Bama could be a great team. The Freshman QB isn't very accurate at this point, but it is difficult to defend Bama due to the running threat. Nice to see Alabama have something other than a statue at QB. Granted, some of those statues had good arms.

You're not in any danger of LSU scoring 40. Probably on anyone.

How about that road trip to Fayetteville?

Maybe so, but LSU has the talent to win it. Hurts going into Death Valley will be arguably his biggest test of the regular season.

15 games are next to impossible to go unscathed but we should. Tennessee is pretty good, auburn will always be a nail biter and if knight goes all Trevor knight on us again. Just hard not to have a bad day in 15 games.

We can worry about that if it happens this year.

Playing four straight top 25 teams including at Arkansas, Tennessee and LSU is favorable?

Arkansas is the game I'm most worried about due to where it falls on the schedule and their style of play. Bama doesn't have the depth on the DL that they had last year. Yesterday against ole miss was a good step in developing some new guys there, but we will need the backups on the DL to be playing better when they play the hogs.

Arkansas style of play makes them the least of my worries.

I kind of agree with this. Their offense isn't going to keep Saban up at night like Clemson or Swag. Could be a very tough game but would be suprised to lose it.

The defense didn't give up 40+ yesterday.

I'm just amazed at how inconsistent and underwhelming the rest of the league looks. When will I learn to stop believing Tennessee and LSU have chances to win big? Arkansas is such a wild card they're too hard to predict.
If Bama wins @MISS, @ARK, @TENN, and @LSU, they deserve it
