Probably 10-2.

Bama's trending better since 2023.

DeBoer's got a lot of stuff to figure out but he eventually will.

I always count that as a win.

With DeBoer and the new era of CFB, we'll Clempson a couple of games. I don't see an Indiana type team in the schedule for next season, so we should go 10-2 and make the playoffs again.

depends on who leaves and who stays

will Alabama have a bit of exodus of players after this?

10-2, probably. We're still pulling in a lot of talent, but it will hinge a LOT on how well the OL issues are fixed in the offseason.

If the OL doesn't, I could see it as bad as 8-4. There are too many above average and better DLs with a script how to attack it to expect anything.

I'm not expecting a return to the 40+ points per game days, but we have too much talent to not expect an average of 30+. I guess we'll have to see.

I don’t know but I’m very excited for our game in Tuscaloosa.

Doubtful. We seem to be keeping more players than I've expected since 2023.

Regular season? 10-2 is reasonable, the schedule is much easier next year.

not saying i disagree, but what exactly do you base that on?

his stellar performance in his 3rd season at his previous FBS HC gigs?

This is NIL era, it’s only about money. These kids ain’t worried about who won a game.

He's a good coach and I have faith in him for now. I do not expect Bama to go undefeated under him or really anyone else. SEC is too hard to do that in.

10-2 is about where Bama should be in 2026. But, we'll see.

Too broad of a statement. I think they care about a multitude of things at once. Kids aren't stupid.

9-3 should be the floor, but with an extra SEC game in the mix, who knows. Alabama is in a weird spot going into next year. There are questions in the coaching staff that could really show themselves.

It will be interesting to watch as a dispassionate observer.
