These 2022 season prediction posts from Roll Tide Roll are yummy....

Alabama will go 12-0 this season
Fact — The Tide’s usual competition in the West are all either rebuilding heavily (A&M, Auburn, LSU), have new coaches (LSU, Auburn at several positions), and/or both (LSU). The up and comer has to rebuild its offense (Ole Miss). And the most stable, experienced teams figure to be MSU — which is a home game, and Nick Saban loves dominating Mike Leach — and the Arkansas Razorbacks. The Hogs host ‘Bama, so it will be a bit tougher than you’d like. But Arkie had significant if not many losses that still make them a second-tier SEC team. THAT SAID, everyone else is even further behind. So, don’t be surprised if the Piggies finish second in the West this season. Alabama’s other toughest game, and most likely chance for a loss, is at Tennessee. The Vols offense will be lethal, and if the defense is even marginally improved, this is going to be one helluva’ game. Unfortunately. But, at the end of the day, Alabama still has more Jimmies and Joes, and the offense will not be outstanding like Tennessee’s...it will be otherworldly. 38-27ish sounds about right, on its way to a 12-0 regular season for Nick Saban and company.


Will Anderson Will Win the Heisman. The question is not does he deserve it but can he actually pull it off and what it might take.
Fiction — He will finally get his due, however, and get on the stage in New York with Bryce and Stroud. But even as he is having seasons for the literal ages, with productivity marked in generations, it’s an offensive sport. And with Stroud likely to put up Madden-type stats en route to a 13-0 OSU record, the Buckeye has to be your favorite. I honestly don’t think there’s any amount of production that would be enough to ensure that the nation’s best player actually wins the award recognizing that fact.

Vanderbilt will go 0-9 against Power-5 teams.
Fact — Vanderbilt will lay the goose egg against the major conference peers, and I predict that they in fact will not come within 14 points of any one of them — Wake Forest, Alabama, Ole Miss, Tennessee in particular are going to molest that secondary.

Brian Kelly will win more SEC game this year than Jimbo Fisher (tiebreaker is head-to-head matchup).
Fiction — Brian Kelly is a better coach, but it’s going to take a while to get the talent and system in place. Aggie had some major losses, but at least the system is in place and people generally have familiar expectations. Expect both to try and win with the ground game this year, as the QB room for both teams is a hot mess, to be frank.

Georgia will go 12-0.
Fiction — You don’t lose 28 players to the draft, graduation, and the Portal and get better — including 8 off the defense, Jermaine Burton, James Cook, half of an offensive line, 6 out of 7 on the defensive front, and the defensive coordinator. Oh, sure, there are weapons at TE and WR, and UGA is always going to have running backs, but the margin of error is significantly slimmer this season. I think turning over a full third of the roster is going to matter at some point. And while Florida, Sakerlina are still a year away from putting it all together, there are enough traps on this schedule and enough question marks for it to ding the ‘Dawgs at least one somewhere, maybe twice.
The funniest thing to watch this year will be the folly Honky McFailson suddenly thinking he’s Aaron Rodgers and trying to play outside of himself and the offense. Those 50-50 eephuses he threw up against Alabama’s inexperienced reserve corners won’t fly against teams that have some starting experience back there.
