Don't think we make the playoffs next year,but if we do Saban might be Coach of the Year. Too many losses and little experience coming back. We better make this year count to win a Nat. Championship. JMO.

Agreed. I can't pick us to win it all next season, we just lose too much. I certainly hope we do, and I think we've got the GOAT CFB coach and the most talent so we should be in the hunt, but it's hard to look at the experience on next year's team and say with confidence that they're going to the playoffs.

Yup,we might take a break next year or two.SEC is getting better again too. Good coaches replacing bad ones. First time in 8-9 yrs I am not too optimistic.

Good lord we re loaded next yr smh...What do u guys mean take a yr or 2 off? The schedule is very manageable , only question will be the secondary. Winning the title this year would be great but next yr sets up as better

Wait and see. Schedule is extremely weak next year which will be held against us. No way we will be a better team next year compared to the past two years.
But Coach has performed miracles before,let's hope he has another up his sleeve.

If we can find someone to replace Payne in the middle and if our newcomers catch on in the secondary then we could be better. We are gonna score a lot of points n ext year.

I agree , im not seeing any drop-off . As I said my concern is really just in the secondary , but we were young back there in 2015 and we won it all . West Should come down to LSU or the iron Bowl . Hopefully our SOS gets more help through some more teams next year as well.

Rumor as it Payne may stay, and Bo should too. Our offense should be as good or better next year. I feel pretty good about the front 7. Biggest question marks will be brand new secondary and kickers.

Lamar Jackson is probably turning pro

I can really see both PAYNE & HARRISON coming back. In fact, those 2 guys returning could end up being Saban's two biggest recruiting wins this year.
Both are probably late 1st/ early 2nd round picks at present so I can see Saban selling them on returning like OJ Howard/ Jonathan Allen and improving their 1st round stock.

HARRIS & SCARBOROUGH are both toss-ups but unless they get terrible NFL grades, they'll likely go.
RB shelf life is pretty low on average, so I wouldn't blame em.
But the fact that both Chubb & Michel came back for Georgia this year (both with injury history), you never know.

Jacobs probably starts until he gets dinged up. They better both watch out for Robinson. Don't know if he can catch the ball like Jacobs, but he can sure tote it. He looks like a beast to me. Big and fast.

We don't lose as many as we lost last year. And, this freshman class is supposed to be one of the best. Our offensive line should be really good. If they are, our QBs and running backs will be great.
Do we lose both of our kickers?

Did y’all forget about Miller Forristal at TE?

Who replaces JK? Pap?

He was talked up as a big receiving threat in the spring, but the injury and Irv Smith's development makes it harder on him. Hale Hentges still has another year, it will be hard to supplant either on the 2 deep.

Gets even harder if Bama signs their #1 target, JuCo Dom Woods-anderson.

Skyler DeLong and Joe Bulovas.

Watch Bulovas be a total head case.

Payne may stay


This would be big. The secondary inexperience would still be concerning, but Payne would really help us out.
