Maybe like Mac, guys with the skillset of Coker, McElroy, etc aren't good enough to carry an offense within the DeBoer scheme.


Good thing for us is Ty Simpson was rated higher than all of those dudes coming out of high school.

Ty Simpson was the #35 ranked player overall in his class.

Greg McElroy wasn't even ranked nationally in his. Neither was Jake Coker.

AJ McCarron ended up #128 overall in the Class of 2009.

Mac Jones finished #162 overall.

Here's to hoping he's the next Mac Jones

Your toughest games are at home and all it takes is 10-2 to make the CFP (10-3 if you play the conference title game and win it), not really much of a guarantee when your talent gets ranked atop the Blue Chip Ratio and 247 talent composite

Now guaranteeing WINNING the playoff is pushing all your chips to the middle there

And yet he still didn't start over Milroe and y'all are still unsure whether he'll be QB1 this season, didn't even go to Media Days. Believe in your Dude, dude!

Only thing Bama fans are guaranteed is that they’ll marry their cousins.

Do you even look at the poster's name you are referring to or are you just a fricking idiot?

10-2 is the floor


LOL, 10-2 is the the pinnacle on a pitched roof.

8-4 is more realistic this year. w/ 2 potential upsets in Vandy & Mzzou, other than that you gotta make it outta Tally alive (with Malzahn throwing spears). I dont see 9 wins with this schedule and a new QB

Very few college football coaches in history inherited as much talent as Coach Kalen, so if he doesn't make the playoffs this season, he probably ain't the one.

With Stephen apparently gone, I believe Sidewalk is trying to take his place as the rants universally despised poster.

Looked elite against LSU's turnover machine QB, but I guess that's not saying much.

Pretty safe bet given there are 12 slots and Boise State, Arizona State, Indiana and SMU have made it and those 4 ain't ever won a damn thing while Alabama has won about 740 natty's.....
