Poll

Having no QB with any meaningful experience is not the best, unless Alabama goes and gets a portal QB. 5 road games are going to be tough. LSU and Tennessee will be tough at home.

Anywhere between 7-5 and 10-2 most likely.

Tough schedule with a new QB. We’re paying KDB $11 million a year to figure that out. Yes, the expectation is to make the playoff.

Year 3 is when I will set expectations. He runs an entirely different system than Saban in both sides of ball. Needs his QB. I’ll know how much better this team will be next fall when we see Proctor report for fall camp. If he’s still fat and slow we’re screwed. That will also tell me how well DeBoer has control of the players.

The defense will keep 'Bama in games early if necessary while the new QB gets their bearings.

The running game should be strong with a veteran Jam Miller leading the way, and guys will be schemed wide open like they were all damn season.

So, whoever starts at QB will have plenty to work with. 'Bama fans should be excited for what's coming.

Yes, my expectation is that we make the playoffs.

If we don’t, it’s not a killer if we are prepared as we should be in all 12 games and execute and compete as we should in all 12 games and simply come up short in fair fights against opponents who execute and compete a little better than we do.

Another Oklahoma repeat as far as a complete failure of preparation cannot happen and IMO is going to be a severe wound shot if not close to a kill shot if it happens again.

If quarterback play is at least consistent, I think we make playoffs. I expect the defense to be much better next season. Lot more experience coming back on that side of the ball. I think we’ll be fine at 4 of the oline spots, but we really need to address right tackle. Maybe one of the freshmen will take it, or a player like Formby will more than likely improve. I think we’ll be really, really good at the skill positions next season.

Just my opinion of the floor, 7-5 and ceiling, 10-2.

I don't see Alabama beating Georgia and Auburn on the road next year, I can see Alabama beating everyone else and going 10-2.

However, with no experienced QB, I could see Alabama losing to Georgia, Auburn, FSU, Tennessee and LSU. Missouri and SC will be tough road games.

It's a tougher schedule then Alabama had this year.

I'm not sure the last time Alabama was in a QB situation like this, maybe 2014?

You’re saying that Bama, who’s still probably at least a top 5-10 team based off of talent can’t possibly win more than 10 regular season games. I think 10 games is probably where Vegas will have us, but to say that’s our ceiling is a little pessimistic or shortsighted

I don’t see it honestly. Hope I’m wrong but it’s a tough schedule. I could see us losing to GA, SC, and either LSU or Tennessee. Honestly any away game can be a toss up at this point with how ill prepared we looked anytime we were away from home. The barn could be a pesky one too.
