I have not. Wouldn’t trade our QB for anyone that plays on Saturdays. Might as well go win it.

Seahawks and Chiefs might have a shot at keeping it competitive

Georgia looks more complete so far. But still so early hard to know based on competition.

Defense is going to get us beat

Texas is legit and Arch is very overrated.

We are about to find out over the next few games.
I’ll say this. Clearly better? Not clearly per se but objectively I’d say Texas, Georgia, Ohio state, Miami and maybe Florida. That said we could beat any of them on any given night. We could also lose to them just the same. Georgia has a pudding soft schedule but looks good. Texas has beat 2 solid teams so far. Right now it’s a guess and there is still slot of football left

Miami and Georgia look like the best two teams in the country, with us right there with them IMO. I do think that South Carolina is pretty bad and that we have some issues in secondary which can exploited. But any team we face I would expect us to win going into the game if I'm being honest. Keelon really is a wildcard.

Georgia and Florida have looked overall more complete. Texas would likely beat Bama but they don’t look unbeatable.

UGA might appear to be the best right now for most people but I would give Bama the edge because of the offense. Keelon is the best QB we've had since Bryce and this offense has so many guys they can throw at you. It's also possible the best RB and best wr on the team may not even be playing yet because their injuries

Defense is a concern. SC could have easily scored two additional times in the first. A team like Georgia absolutely would have. As others have said, they're probably the most complete team. But there's a lot of ball left to be played...

We have got to start ready to play. We were fortunate the first SC drive came up empty.
Frankly, the second SC drive, too.

Our defense has me a little worried. Run defense is suspect and 5 is being targeted in the secondary as the weak link. He really needs to step up...not a good start to his season...and Miss St is obviously going to go after him early and often.

I'd put Bama behind Georgia and Florida right now. I'm just not a believer in Texas...even though they have the best win so far.

1- Georgia
2- Florida
3- Alabama
4- Texas
5- Miss St

We can still lose to nearly anyone. We still have a history of being seemingly unprepared for some games, lest we forget. Great win today.

No. Many teams as good as the Tide maybe but definitely not clearly better.

We could go undef. this season in the reg. season. No more than 1 loss at most.

Georgia is a toss up (we're at 50/50 with them if you look at betting). No way we're losing to anyone else. Definitely not LSU, State or Auburn.

This is DeBoer's best team to date.

Two with State and LSU being tough outs. Defense is Jekyll and Hyde

Sure man. You seem stuck in last year and the year before teams.

We have proven mental toughness, grown every week and showed we are never out. The fear of playing us is starting to grow while you're over here thinking we can lose to anyone.

We have beaten everyone up, are averaging 43 points against two SEC, one ACC and a G6 team.. we haven't played HBCUs, FCS and bottom dwellers raking up stats.

The reality is we're really good and the only team at this point I see threatening us on our schedule is UGA and the officiating crew at rocky top.

Grubb took the air out of the ball for the entire 3Q and we put up 49.

I want to know what’s up with Jaymes and Sanders on the OL, but look at our damn weapons right now:
-Ultra elite QB
-Best OL since 2020 with possibly AA level LT and RG
-RCW and Brooks with Rico making plays and Rogers back (can’t even get Cede on the field)
-Ultra elite TE blocking who are now showing they can catch the ball
-3 deep at RB with two future stars and AK working back in

Have to see it against UGA before we know for sure but that is an ultra elite offense right now and I suspect DCs are starting to freak out watching the film of what KR is evolving into behind a good to very good OL (*IF* healthy).

This right here. We do look the part in regards to who we have played. What I don't get is all the love for Texas. If the Tenn receiver catches the ball at the end they lose. And people trashing our defense, do you think Tennessee has a better one? They took Texas to the wire. I do believe we find out more of what we really have with this next game.

When we execute and eliminate stupid penalties we can definitely beat anybody.

Keelon is definitely elite and as said, I wouldn't trade him for anybody; not even that freak at MSU.

When we set our minds to it, running game is solid. I'm not sure EJ is still 100% yet. Want to see Dear on some toss sweeps/wheel routes.

The TEs, just wow. Best group in the country.

WR room as I predicted may be the best in the country as well. They are ALL HR threats. RCW seems to have settled in from his yips.

However we still have periods of stagnation on offense and what looked to be an elite defense has shown several holes.

DL is solid with some position groups and not so much with others.

LB play is playing winning football. Woodson is a good LB but is SLOW. Metz is solid and getting better every game. Griffin is also coming along. We need his speed out there.

Dijon Lee has forgotten how to cover and becoming a liability. Gotta be a technique thing, last year he was solid. Some of the non starters still have much growing to do.

As a whole defense is still not wrapping up on tackles. Too much of this "thud" bullshite. Half of thier YAC was due to this. Wrap the damn ball carrier up.

Defense is still not accounting for a running QB. Spying Sellers and at least 3or 4 of their conversions do not happen.

Kicking game has grown from a liability to a weapon. Mad props for the work they've put in to get better.
