4th in a row. Might not win Natty. Discuss.

Y'all are a good team, obviously. Not as good as years past though. LSU won the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball last night.

The rest of the season will be a tough out.

If we get by Auburn and Georgia we will win the NC. Problem is we still haven’t played anyone!

MSU is somewhat of an unknown and we are playing them there while being pretty banged up. We may lose Saturday!

Only question I would have to ask is if UGA doesn't beat Bama for the SEC Championship, then who else has a decent shot?

Linebacker injuries are problematic. I can see it possibly becoming an issue at some point. SDH is a big loss.

Winning the SEC will be tougher than winning the natty...unless we have to play UGA again.

Clemson maybe? Notre Dame, no fricking way. If Bama loses, it will be to UGA or Auburn, is what I think.

State is banged up at the wr position. I think 4 was missing Saturday. I think 2 could have played if needed too but still.

I'm good with just winning the SEC. Winning a national championship is a rare occurrence. The fact Bama has won 4 in the last 9 seasons is ridiculously awesome.

Bamas secondary is the weakest group of their team. Chark was burning them all night long. We just have a Purdue reject throwing him the ball so it didn't matter.

You have an incredibly tough three game stretch. Mississippi State, Auburn and then Georgia. Injuries at the most inopportune time. Advantage is you have depth, the most disciplined team in the conference, and the best coaching staff. Should make it to at least the CFP championship game if you do not have any major injuries. But it will not be easy.

Perhaps, but then Alabama still has Coach Saban, one of the best groups of assistant coaches, and top talent everywhere. Every year Alabama plays a fairly close game, the team can not be at the top of their game every week. Alabama still won by 14 points and the game never felt like Alabama was threatened....

I know they are coming off a bye week, but they play the one team that almost has as much talent as Alabama (for now)

Alabama wins this week, they make the playoff even with a loss to Auburn.

If you beat UGA then you guys will win a Natty.

The only thing Bama should worry about is your offense.

Regardless of stats up to this point, you all didn’t look as dominant on that side of the ball.

Your defense is nasty and will give other teams a very hard time trying to scheme against, but your offense may be what does you in if they can keep Hurts from being able to make big plays with his feet.

If UGA beats you guys, and I think we will make it a game, bet $$$ on the under cause it’s not going to be a high scoring game unless UGA just shites the bed.

No sec team has ever won outright sec and outright nattys back to back.

Bear won outright sec and outright natty one year and outright sec and split natty the next so he was close.

Saban would have done it if not for lsu playing the greatest football game in history in 2011.

Yep. Next year with Tua we'll win the natty.
Jalen, and this dull offense will not get it done against tougher teams with good offense/defense

If we make the QB swap this year without losing a game though, I think we win it all

I think if y'all drop any 1 of the next 4, you still make the playoff

Eh... we all knew 7SU was gonna play us tough.. we won by 14 and could have been 21 without the mercy kneel.

The bigger issue I see is all the injuries at LB. If we make it through the SEC championship with a win... I think we can win out... cause thatll give Christian Miller and Lewis time to come back for sure... and Deshawn Hand and Minka time to heal up more.

But we have Auburn at Auburn... and they are gonna play us HARD.... and even if we win that we have Georgia.... and im sure Kirby is thirsty and so are the dawgs....

I COMPLETELY BELIEVE WE CAN DO IT....but it sure won't be a cakewalk.
