In all seriousness. That is way too far off for me to give a good prediction right now. I know Fl rotates on our schedule and we go to BR. Gotta see how Tn, Au and Arky improves this year too. Way too many factors to be able to say anything remotely intelligent about next year other than I think our offense should be better and we will probably have some dropoff in defense a bit.

So all this being said, and looking at your schedule next year (and I can't believe I'm asking this since we're only one game into this season) what do Bama fans expect record wise next season?
Ten or more wins.

Nice breakdown. I don't think it's going to be as bad as it looks right now on the defensive side. As you mentioned, several of those starters who are leaving are already being pushed by the guys that will take their places next year.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Dareus get more time this year at DE than one of the other two starters we have there currently.
Saban has already said he considers Green, Woodall, and Barron to all be starters at safety this year, so losing Woodall is really just going to mean that we need a backup to step up.
We'll miss Javy, but more on punt returns than CB, where we have some elite talent stacking up.
We lose Anders at Jack, but Upshaw will probably play almost as much as him this year, so he'll basically be a returning starter.
Reamer, although a very solid player, will be replaced by one of the stud LB's. And frankly, Reamer isn't on the field a lot as it is because we're in nickle and dime so much.
Like you said, Chapman already plays a lot at NT, so while I'm sure we'll miss Cody, we'll basically just be looking for a quality backup for Chapman.
I really don't see a lot of dropoff on defense considering most of the replacements will be guys have have already played a lot. We'll have to wait and see about McClain. He says he plans to come back, but that's something that's never truly decided until the time comes. The offense looks sick indeed.

If Kareem does leave that could hurt, but I have a feeling he'll be back to raise he's stock in the draft. Also, I forgot Phelon Jones will be available at CB next year as well.

And don't forget we are looking at another top five recruiting class highlighted by a awesome secondary group in Milliner, Williams, Perry, Belue, and possibly Allen, and Fulton.
