Desmond and Herbie didn't even put Bama in their 12 team playoff.

This should be motivation. Bama was rated by 24/7 as still having the most talented roster...yet apparently we're going to take a backseat to Ole Miss?

I don't think so.

Yeah idk what these people are thinking.

DeBoer is specifically known for being able to come into programs and have immediate success, and this is the most talented roster he's ever had.

Sure the SEC is tough, but no one stands up to this Alabama team in terms of talent.

I love that we are being overlooked a bit.

When they start giving trophies based on what Desmond Howard thinks I’ll start giving a frick.

No I won’t. I’ll stop watching.

I'd love to see the trash programs they did have in their bracket.

Many of these same so called experts all picked us to lose to Georgia the last two times we played them in Atlanta for the SECCG. Heather Dinich picked us to lose by three touchdowns to them for goodness sake. They also picked Texas to beat Washington in the Sugar Bowl semifinal game.

Herbstreit is almost always partial to us. He is probably dithering now because of Sabans departure.

We knew it would be this way when saban retired. We will have to prove it on the field

The rules are pretty simple.

Win the SEC get a first round pass.

Be in the top 8 ~ 10 at the end of the regular season.

Be in the top 6 ~ 7, play at home in round 1.

Do you expect Alabama to be in the top 8 ~ 10 at the end of the regular season? If the answer is yes, enjoy the season. If the answer is no, find a hobby for the next several months.

Last time they tried to talk Ole Miss up was 2009 fwiw.

Either way, it really doesn't matter, especially now that there is a 12 team playoff.

With the portal and NIL, there's no more it's Cokering your way into a national title. This is CKD's team from day 1.

Same here. I’d rather be disrespected in the media than the team having their heads inflated sunshine pumpers. LANK!!!!

Desmond Howard picked the Aggies in his playoff last year.

I'll always believe half these "experts" (sarcasm) don't know what the hell they're talking about a lot of the time and just say crap to sound "edgy" (in their minds). Most of them have grudgingly had to give Bama respect and now that CNS is one, they think they can crap all over us.

They act like the cupboard is bare and Bama hired some goober HC from a Division II school. It's either really sloppy/lazy "journalism" or them letting their resentment toward Bama show through.

Whatever. When Bama does make it into the playoffs, I'd love to see a guest picker on there have a segment where they show a video flashback of these idiots leaving Bama out of the playoffs. Of course, that'd never happen.

They are just wishing, hoping, praying that Bama is dead. Will be fun to see them eat their predictions. I loved seeing Saban feeding Georgia the rat poison. Oregon too - Lanning is 0-3 vs DeBoer, though Lanning favored in all those games. Eat the rat poison suckers!

Bama plays at Wisconsin and also has #1 UGA, #11 Missouri, #13 LSU, #15 Tennessee, and #16 Oklahoma, those last 3 games are on the road. Bama has a stretch of @ Tennesee, Missouri, and @LSU in a row.

Bama has a tough schedule this year. Tougher than some other SEC teams, so it's understandable that people would see the schedule and think that Bama could go 9-3 and miss the playoffs. Bama could be a top 6 team but go 9-3 while Ole Miss or Mizzou go 10-2 with a weaker schedule and get in instead.

I'm not gonna say it's "refreshing," but it's refreshing-adjacent.
