Alabama and Auburn will both be tough outs at home.

Bama's road is much easier tho.

Yep.

and officiating.
Meh. 1 really bad call and a couple of close ones that went to the home team. Not really different from any other game.

The games you mentioned aren't comparable. Ole Miss dominated their game from the beginning. The Auburn-State game was a 1 possession game up until late in the 3rd quarter or early in the 4th quarter, and you could argue at least two questionable calls from the referees tilted the game in State's favor.

Auburn had a 70 or 80 yard pass that went to State's 7 or 8 yard line called back because of offensive pass interference. Almost everybody agreed that was a bogus call. Mississippi State was later bailed out on 4th and 8 by a questionable pass interference penalty against Auburn. This lead to them kicking a field goal

They have only played really poorly in one game, yesterday. They played mediocre against Ole Miss who is really good. Way to early to be concerned yet. The D will still one of the bedt units that will be on the field in any game they play. Special teams is a huge concern, however.

Except for pat blocks, Saban is the GOAT at coaching up PAT block plays.

Without going back and checking, my recollection is that you clawed it back to a one-possession game which lasted only a couple of minutes. My general impression from watching the game is that MSU beat you soundly, and I suspect the rest of the non-delusional world agrees. But spin it however you like if it makes you feel better.

Not to quibble, but IMHO now is an appropriate time to become concerned. In fact, I'd say the Bama fanbase should have started being concerned last weekend. I moved passed being concerned towards "WTF?!?!" stage at the end of the 1st qtr yesterday.

If you compare some scores you can equate the Florida win for Bama and the LSU win for Auburn.
Arkansas gave both fits, but kept Bama closer at home. Advantage : Auburn
Bama looked a bit better in their loss than Auburn did, so advantage : Alabama.
K State / WV games : Bama looked a little better.
Other games: blah, blah, blah.

Just give em a tie in the rankings and move on.

keep up the good fight. Bama will lose at least 1 more. I don't think Auburn loses another game.

Auburn is way way better and they are going to beat Bama like a drum at the end of the year.

Auburn vs State was a one possession game? I must have blinked and missed that. But I'll admit I had to hit the bottle a few extra times yesterday evening.

You are crazy if you think that UK is beating LSU, Miss st, Mizz, UGA and Tenn. With 3 of those games being on the road. It's UGA's to lose,

first off MSU is gonna make you cry make no bones about it. they are better than OM and it isnt close. OM is on the level with bama & AU this year. I dont think bama or AU are a top 10 team honestly. bama, AU & OM should all be in the 11-15 range.

I like how you think that the rules of pass interference don't apply to auburn.

You cheated and got penalized for it.

You predicting Bama to beat State and Auburn to beat Bama in Tuscaloosa?

*Edit for*
Lately, it's not that big of a deal for Auburn to beat Bama at home.
