Not really worried about offense in 2021 if Steve Sarkisian and Kyle Flood are back. You’ll have a returning starter at QB no matter how it plays out in 2020 as well. That’s huge. The RB depth and WR depth can absorb personnel losses. The OL has tremendous depth, but that will be the hardest to judge. It takes them longer to gel.

Not sure where you see 6 starters leaving on defense. Ray, Moses, and Surtain are likely it. I guess Jobe could have a big enough season to leave early. Maybe Allen. Barmore? He’s not even starting. No one else would be draft eligible.

You might as well go for the name-calling on this one. It's not like the actual record will back you up.




Hey here's one for you. 15-0 and who won the Championship last, LSU or Alabama? That's the only record that currently matters!

So kinda like LSU in this regard. Right ? LSU is loaded at the skill positions like Bama. Both replenish there. Bama is losing two absolute studs on the o line and Dickerson is no slouch. LSU will have a year head start on Bama re o line. LSU will also return a starting qb in 21.

Based off of the amount of talent coming back,it would be an upset if Bama did not win the SEC. It's Bama's year to win the SEC.

Just wait until they hit the Pelini Wall in Baton Rouge.


your post prompted me to look up the Pelini Wall

He was head coach at Nebraska from 2008-2014. Since he's a defensive coach his teams will reflect that, same as Saban teams generally have a good defense (not 2019 though it was statistically better than LSU's)

Nebraska defense rankings

2008- #81
2009- #1
2010- #9

Sure. I mean it's not like Saban had better players than Pellini or anything. Nebraska recruiting has been top 3 for how long ?

Agreed. Bama should be the favorite, however everyone talking returning players and stats should keep in mind that one C19 outbreak could spell disaster for an entire team.

As someone stated weeks ago, this season will be about not only how well you prepared and the talent you have on the field, but how safe you kept your players.

So far Bama is winning that contest.

Perhaps compared to Tennessee and LSU. They've had many positive test. It's not always going to be about keeping players safe. South Florida just postponed a game. They lost players to contact tracing from the Notre Dame game.

If it wasn't for a bull shite offsides call on our blocked punt you wouldn't have won that natty



Still whining, crying, and moaning about the refs, which BTW called that play correctly, he was offsides.

I understand you GA fans like to say, he wasn't offsides that much, but guess what, he was offsides!

UGA will win the SEC Championship, we have the most talent in the league according to the talent composite
It's a composite rating, not gospel. Any team with a composite player rating of 90+ likely has the talent to make a run if they don't have a specific personnel group deficiency.

a1abama has the best shot at winning the SEC and of course, the National Championship. Good luck to the tide and I'm sure this board can't wait for the flood of "WE TOLD YOU" threads.

You intentionally left out starts because you know your comparison is weak.
