Hoping everyone is staying safe during this wintery spell.

Fascinating look at the Alabama football roster. I suspect we may take a dip next year based solely on youth, but the two years after that will be exciting. We loose only nine seniors after next season.

Admittedly, safeties Saab and Hubbard and the new DL from USC will be starters, and it will sting. TE Danny Lewis is the only starter on offense.

Two seasons after that we will be untouchable. (With the caveat that we don't get hammered in the portal like we did this season).

God Bless you all.

Youth is the main concern I have for next year. I was glad we got rid of the players we did and recruited more for DeBoer's system. But if I could have asked for anything else, it would have been more upperclassman.

2026 will not be BAMA's year imo. Might be a playoff team, but that's about it. BAMA will be ready for championship runs 2027 and 2028. BAMA's not going away, as bad as some people want them to.

Alabama is too talented to not be back in the CFP next year. If they’re not the seat is very hot.

Yeah.. we've got talent, but clearly the key to winning now is to have a bunch of 23 year olds on the team.

Let’s be honest with ourselves, after what Cignetti has accomplished, most Blueblood school head coaches seats should be very hot.

This is the last year of covid seniors. It's unlikely he'll be able to form another team with an average age higher than that of some NFL teams.

However, I think he 100% proved what Bear Bryant used to say. A guy who puts in the work is better than a more talented guy who doesn't.

This is 100% what Indiana did.

I'd like to point out that this isn't a prediction from LSU.....

Nor is it a prediction from even a small percentage of LSU fans.

Hope this clears things up.

Hate to tell ya this bro, but in today's crazy, ever-changing world of college football, to predict ANYTHING that far away is absolutely a waste of perfectly good oxygen.
