No way Bama can absorb 3 losses and make the playoffs, but it's possible, I think, if Bama has 2 losses in the SEC and doesn't make the SECCG, it's quite likely they're out.
Obviously, it's a lot dependent on what other teams across the nation do.
But, I do think today's loss,and to who it was to, severely damages Bamas chances

Of course, we all think Bama may not win another game, but this week will tell us what kind of Coach Deboer is. We absolutely can bounce back and play great ball. We'll see.

10-2 maybe we make it depending on Georgia's outcome

Losing to Vanderbilt was a massive L though

He has to make changes on the staff after what we saw today. Wommack is in over his head and DeBoer also seemed totally shell shocked during the game.

It depends on the rest of the field, but that was certainly not one we could “afford” to lose. Just at a loss for words. On no planet should our group of players ever lose a football game to their group of players. Deboer shouldn’t get a wink of sleep tonight. We have PROBLEMS on the defensive side of the ball and that shite needs to be sorted out tomorrow.

Win in Neyland, Baton Rouge, and Norman…we’re in.

That would require the defense actually stopping somebody though, so it’s a pretty tall order.

Yeah that’s not happening after what we saw today. Tennessee will be straight difficult after they lost to Arkansas earlier. I was hoping that the Harsin comparisons were hyperbole but after today, I don’t think they are sadly.

10-2 puts us in easily.

And yeah, we're gonna find out if we have a 2015 Bama or a 2007 Bama.

Wommack should have a for sale sign in his front yard tomorrow. Either that or I hope he was renting. Malachi should also be suspended for a game.

This would be more like 99 Bama instead of 15 Bama.

You should be focused on how your Auburn team is 0-3 in the SEC and just lost to Georgia for the eighth straight year.

Offense has been very average to less than average when they play a decent defense.

We’re not a decent defense

Sad as it is to say, it'd help if Vandy has a winning season.

I think we would get in with 2 losses. 3...definitely not. So going to have to hold serve at home and take 2 of 3 on the road at Tennessee, LSU and Oklahoma.

Tough now with shitting the bed today...but 2 losses would get Bama in.

We are when we play aggressive defense like we did against Georgia the first half but for some reason Womack decides the last 6 qtr that disguising coverage and blitzes are horrible.

Honestly I wouldn’t be completely shocked if Freeze beat us this year using this same blueprint

He’s going to have nothing to lose at year end

We’re in at 10-2.

The carnage today gave a lot of teams an L, looking very much like a 3 loss championship game participant will get a hard look.

A lot of teams still play each other still and will probably eliminate more than a few in those head to head contests.

Seeing our DL get manhandled makes me question S&C also.

It already looks like we might have 3 loss teams in this one. Michigan lost again. Did USC lose again? Tenn, us, Georgia, Mizzou, all have losses. Ole Miss. LSU.
