I do think we will get some 1st place votes but I think Auburn stays 1 and we slide to 2 over Duke.

Doesn't make sense to me. I think there's no movement.



I would honestly rather not have us carry the #1 ranking on our back.

SEC is tough enough.

Especially right before playing the number 1 team who would have lost that ranking to us. No need to give them more motivation.

Pretty sure we’ll be #2 on Monday. Just doesn’t make sense to put us #1 when metrics, record, Quad 1 wins, etc. all point to AU still being #1.

Losing at home is probably why Bama jumps them

Interestingly, the road teams in the SEC won 6 of 8 games today.
The only home teams to win were Kentucky (over USCe) and Vanderbilt (over Texas)

This team has the tendency to let off the gas when they get a big lead.


Every team in every sport does that. Its natural unless you are pissed off.

The boys were able to lock it back in and get the W. That crowd was rocking at BWA. It is a good win. Saban always said winning a close game is the best because they can still learn from their mistakes.

If the season ended today I think we are the 1 seed in Nashville. Because Auburn is 0-1 vs the 3rd place teams and Alabama is 1-0

By the #3 or 4 team in the country. Wasn’t that bad of a loss.

Note: We lost to Ole Miss at home (much worse team) by a worse final score.

They need to learn to play with that enlarged bullseye on their back.

They’ll like be a #1 seed and will face that same pressure in March. Better to learn it now than then.

Even if they hold on to the number 1 ranking, we will jump Duke and be guaranteed a historic 1 Vs 2 matchup in Coleman. That's pretty incredible

I just want Duke to be properly punished for Not playing a ranked team since the SEC ACC Challenge
