I still predict we will beat UGA, and they will drop to 5th. Reasoning will be that they didn't beat a top 25 team this year, big 12, pac 12, and Cincy being the only undefeated team. It will spark the playoff debate for the expansion to 12 to happen next year. (I don't there is a conspiracy for them to lose, just that when they do, the committee will take advantage of it. Au and Ark will drop out after we beat them)

I'd like to see our offensive line have a good game against a good Arky defense led by underrated DC Barry Odom.
Thereby winning against a physical, well coached team.
No significant injuries will be a HUGE + in this type of game.
If we make it to Atl, most UGA fans will be thinking how will we blow this one. So the pressure will be on the favored #1 team in the country.

If we make it to UGA at 11-1 Im rooting like crazy that we beat them. And I think we have a shot, but man you know theyve been preparing all year for us and now they have 2 gimme games to really gameplan for us. They're a great team and if we do get whipped up front against them I will not be surprised. Just hope we go out there and play with intensity and don't give up easy plays.

I think with Anderson and Turner and our Dline playing as good against the run as it has been, we will do as well against them as they will do against us.

Everything is front is us. We are in good position and simply need to keep improving. If we play UGA and simply lose the game because they are better so be it. Something I noticed against AM is this team never gave up, they played their asses off. That tells me a lot.

Let’s not get carried away.

Unfortunately Saban is saying they are having another bad week of practice. “Poor me’s” and all that.
I’d temper expectations, but that’s just how I get to enjoy the games even more if we win.

Yep, I heard that too. For this team to still be struggling with mindset, toughness, practice habits, leadership, etc heading into week 11 with everything still in front of them....man, this team just doesn't have "it". Maybe the hurt from this year will be the fire that drives the team to greatness in 2022. I'm still hoping for the improbable, but I just haven't seen anything that makes me think this team has greatness in them. Hope they surprise me, I'd love to eat some crow.
And whoever the players are that continue to have the "poor pitiful me" attitudes, I hope the coaches show them the way to the portal as soon as the season is over. Heck, send them there now.

Seems to me folks in here might be overreacting too negatively to Saban's remarks aimed at his players. He's probably increased intensity and physicality of practice this week, and therefore is challenging players to push themselves harder.

This team plays down, and up, to their opponents.
They are inconsistently consistent.
I think y’all will struggle against Arky but somehow make enough plays to win. Arkansas plays hard. Our defense had a fire lit under their arse from the way we played y’all and still couldn’t contain KJ from picking up the first when it counts. It’ll be a damn good game. I’ll be watching. Good luck, Tide.

I just want to get back to "make their arse quit" football.

This game concerns me in that I don’t think we will lose, but it will probably be a nasty dogfight.

Saban was saying that we had a great week of practice pre-LSU. I'm done trying to read his messaging with this group, and to be honest I'm not sure he entirely has a great read on them.

For whatever reason Arkansas has traditionally been good for about one dirty play per game over the years haven't they ?
Has anyone heard who has been running with the 1's this week on the OL ?

L-R: Neal, Cohen, Dalcourt, Ekiyor, George

Yes
I’ve never been one to wish harm on a player but I hope someone hits Nathan Bax so hard he ends up sipping his Thanksgiving meal through a straw.
And then he makes a full recovery and goes on to have a lovely, productive life.
But always remembers the time he was a bitch and paid for it dearly.

I don't see Owens on that list and it makes me happy.

I guess they really believe in Dalcourt. Thank goodness the Owens saga is nearing an end. He made it further than 99.9 percent of all athletes on Earth, and earned himself a good education so congratulations to him on his accomplishments.
