Literally no idea what to expect in this one. You could tell me Bama will win by two touchdowns, lose by two touchdowns, or anything in between and I could see it.

Her logic is completely flawed and bias in an attempt to prop up OSU.

On one hand she looks at context specifically with them and the teams around them to create a way to prop them up.. all while ignoring context for others; in fact punishing others like Kentucky and us.

If she truly wants to break things down with details we didn't just lose to UGA clean we lost due to significant controversy the entire CFB world pointed out.

If she were being forthright she would acknowledge OSU lost their QB so that significantly impacts things and we have seen his replacement absolutely fail against USC. She basically keeping them high due to her B1G ties and paymasters.

While on the other hand Kentucky has beaten a team she ranks in her top 12 with a loss against a team in her top 12 yet she punishes them for being SEC with minimal football brand value.

If we're basing this of SOS, wins, injuries, how games are won, who was lost to, etc.. why didn't she rank Kentucky over Notre Dame? What have they proven?

She's trash and I wish more people would call her out for being that

That Julio play was one of the most memorable in the Saban era for me. Great day.

If ever we were ready for a game it would have to be this one. The entire season rides on it, just like every game moving forward. If we have some of injured guys back namely Delgatty, RW, and Greene I would be immensely happy and like our chances even more.

Exactly! Even every single one of her colleagues at ESPN.

I'd even question the Tennessee loss since half our starting lineup was out one week before they were pantsed by a team we demolished at full strength.

Expectations as of today are loss but if we get everyone other than Sanders back I’d probably come around. Need to see RCW, Delgatty, ZB, Crowell, and Green all off the injury report by Thursday to feel really good about them being close to full go.

If our guys are 100%, I like our chances. I mean, we absolutely demolished Kentucky, South Carolina and MSU (with Taylor) at full strength.

If they're not, I expect this to look a lot like the Tennessee game.

I hope we win just so I don't have to hear "we should have hired Kiffin" every day until he shits the bed against Texas.

If we get guys back from injuries, it'll be a competitive tight game. If our roster is the same as it was against UT and A&M, we lose by 2 or 3 possesions.

I'll never expect we're ever going to be prepared for a game again with this staff. Not until I see change. Im just going to watch the game, grill, and enjoy the day with friends n family.

From everything I’ve seen I don’t think we should even waste our time watching the game Saturday. It sounds like Bama has no chance.

We lose, in my opinion.

- Our offense and QB can’t handle crowd noise.
- Our OC is an idiot.
- Our DC only plays soft coverage, which Lane will take advantage of.
- Dijon Lee is good for at least one stupid penalty that costs us.
- Don’t know what key players will still be out injured, but I imagine there will still be at least a couple.

Pretty much all of this. I have no confidence in the offense's ability to operate on the road against a competent defense. I dont think it will be as ugly as the UT game but it won't be enough. I think LSU gets to 30 points on the D. 31-20 type game

Just some food for thought.

There may be a few movements but it will closely mirror the AP Poll

i'm a 100% debbie downer on this one. i'm thinking bama gets royally grubbed in baton rouge. if so, the defense can only take so much and kiffin will try to prove a point by running it up.

the plus side, no more wasted headspace on the cfp.
