Is your team about where you thought they’d be?

I’d say Auburn about where I thought we’d be at this point, maybe even a little ahead given the UGA upset. Got a chance to win 8 games with a bowl win. With how pitiful we’ve been after 2019, I’ll take it. Yeah we’ve gotten smoked in a few, but we’ve also won some one-score games this year that we would have lost in previous years.

I thought we'd be 7-2 with a strong position to the playoff

I think Alabama is doing a little better than I thought we would with the youth of the team, especially at QB.
We are still hurting in the depth department, but overall I'm very pleased with how the season has turned out and what I'm seeing from this team.
The amount of effort and attitudes from the players has been awesome. Especially compared to what we saw out of players from Saban's last year or 2, and what we saw in DeBoers first year. For as much as some fans crap on DeBoer the culture he has installed has been an improvement.
Hopefully we don't shite the bed against Auburn. Overall we're getting to finish the season on an easier schedule so I hope we can capitalize on that heading into the playoffs.

No

Much better. Was expecting a maybe 5 win ceiling with the coaching change and roster turnover.

I said 9-3 coming in. I was more concerned about how Lane coached the team than I was the record. I thought he made a lot of mature coaching decisions through the end of the Kentucky game. Not going for it on 4th and 1 and losing may have been the worst thing for him. Now he's over here going for it all over the place and making no sense. So, it started out like I thought then took a hard left turn last weekend. That was not good.

Yes, with the exception of the loss to Kentucky. I said 8-4, but looks like 7-5, which could be considered a failure with a 50 million dollar roster.

You gotta be thrilled with that kid. That play he made to avoid getting sacked against LSU was really something. He’s got moxey.

Strong in some areas, weak in others, consistently inconsistent, likely to end the regular season 10-2? Yes.
Russell is ahead of where I thought he'd be.

I figured 8-4, but this is a whole different level of suck.

I'm slightly disappointed. Not in the record, but in the way the losses happened. SC had big leads, but couldn't hold on against UK and Miss State.
I think SC is much better than they were when those games played, but the record is the record. I'd rather have those two back, and a loss to UTK, for example. If those are my options, at least.

I thought best case scenario would be to split AL and OM games and only have 1 loss. I got the loss part right … but didn’t dream it would be to AU.

Nope. Much further behind than I would have hoped.
Posted on 11/10/26 at 12:27 pm to TailbackU
From the beginning of the season, my best hope was that we'd go 8-4. So we could still end up with that.

Florida has lost games I thought we'd win and won games I thought we'd lose...but record wise, yea.

If Saban was coaching (well we may not have 2 losses at this point, just 1 but ....), I'd 100% agree.
But we have DeBoer. I expect to lose one more reg. season game and possibly 2.
But, if we finish 10-2, I'll be slightly more impressed with him.

Every coach not named Nick Saban does the same thing.

I would seriously not put it past this coaching staff to not lay eggs against both Vandy and Auburn this year.

Maybe but my expectation for Bama is National Championships. Anything less is not a success.
I would think that fans of other elite programs would think the same way (If I was a Georgia fan, I would expect the same at this point). If I was an LSU fan, anything short of a SECCG win is not success.
