It seems the narrative that the Tide is a dramatically different team since September is ramping up. I’ve watch a majority of Alabama’s games this fall and I don’t see it. Their defense is still susceptible to solid passing attacks and their run game outside of Milroe looks inconsistent. Texas is still a terrible matchup for them, and I’d bet Texas would win 7 times out of 10 on a neutral field. Even with our long list of injuries, I think we’d handle them.

Y’all won head to head so you deserve to get in over us. Good luck! I definitely think we have improved. Jalen is a better manager of the game now…..

You don’t go from getting bullied in the trenches at home to favorites in a few short weeks.

This is the first time Texas has been in the conversation this late in the season in 15 years.

Enjoy it, seasons like this a few and far between for Texas.

Bama would steam roll Texas today
Y’all have the Sark effect every season. He’s a coordinator trying to be HC

Bama would win a rematch by 10+ points. Just stating the obvious. Hopefully we get to find out.

The way you will know if any of this just BS or it’s true, Ga will tell you. Ga has everything, and an extremely accurate passer.

This isn't a good Bama team, mediocre QB who has looked better against out-manned teams with an average coaching staff. Texas beat us thoroughly. They had an answer or adjustment for everything we did on both sides of the ball. Texas has a better coaching staff than we have. Texas would beat us again.

While we may deserve to get in over Alabama, being highly questionable if they beat Georgia, I do think Alabama is the better team right now.

The interesting thing to me isn't that Alabama fans think they'd win today and thus should be ahead of us in the CFP. They're highly entitled fans, so of course they do. Ignoring head-to-head results flies in the face of common sense, but I get it.

It's that fans of other teams share this opinion even though most of them hate Alabama. It's strange because you'd think they'd want Texas to go instead, given the narrative is that we'd fall flat against whoever we face in the CFP, while Alabama could easily win a title.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say there's some fear that Texas with the SEC patch may actually present a problem pretty soon.

I think you’re wrong, but you’re certainly entitled to your opinion. What matters is y’all did win the head to head. The rest is just speculation.

Bama would be a 10 pt favorite if they played tomorrow.

I dunno. Doesn't really matter. We have to beat somebody better than Texas to give ourselves a shot.

Don’t fall into the mulligan trap of these inbreds. Texas already beat them . Milroe is the same as he ever was. He ran wild against the worst LSU defense of my lifetime. Who hasn’t!?!?!

You have the the mic but I would love to see the rematch. Best advice I can give you is ask Les Miles about rematches after a lucky win vs Saban.

Soon ESPN will have a Saban segment pleading his case for being the best 4

Win or lose vs GA in the SECG

If the game happened now, Alabama wins, 49-17.

Coming to the SEC and already acting like the tiger and bulldog fanbase. Poor me is a bad look.
