Also, A&M has falling off significantly. That game was the loudest Kyle Field has been all year by a mile.
Teams tend to drop off after losing so much and the fans don't cheer as hard. Bama also hasn't done good against great against any defense they've played except Tennessee.

No way. Alabama just can't compete with the genius of Kirby Smart. I mean, this Georgia team, is probably the greatest football team in college football history. What's the streak now? 26-27 straight games? Kirby Smart makes Bud Wilkinson look like a pansy. Georgia has enough talent to beat even the Alabama refs.

They are that good.

I think FSU, UGA, AL, UM, OSU, Oregon, & Texas can all beat one another.

It’s more challenging to figure out who can run off 3 Straight against these teams.

That's the thing people don't understand, even though Michigan got caught they still have a huge advantage because their remaining opponents have to waste precious time (remember the NCAA limits all football activities to 20 hours a week) changing everything.

You realize how that makes you look by dwelling on it 2 days later? Josh Pate said it was a great football play that may have met the letter of the law being a penalty. Said when a guy has that kind of motor, he will end up in the qbs face a lot more than another guy.
Said LSU fans really wish they had a guy like that.
That pretty much sums it up.

I'm not considering nothing until we get out of Auburn with a win. Already seen this movie, it has too much drama..lol
How we deal with Kentucky will tell if this Bama team has turned the corner.

Alabama is probably a top 4 team, but a salty D can make Milroe lose his mind. Definitely think they would whip FSU, but not sure about the rest of the top 5-6 teams.

It’s hard to say because the LSU defense is so bad.

I think a lot of negativity spewed at Bama was from earlier in the season. The loss to Texas and the horrible showing against South Florida. I thought Ole Miss had a chance in the first half to put Bama away and squandered it and then Bama came out in the second half and just took over. Big time. I felt like that second half showed us what Bama could do and as the season has played out, they have gotten better. At this time, I think Bama would beat Texas and I'm not sure anyone in the conference can or will beat them. Obviously, if the anticipated matchup of Bama and UGA happens in the championship game, should be an interesting one for sure. In that matchup, I would prefer a UGA win, but right now, I think Bama would win. Lots of football left, so just speculation on my part.

The LSU game further proved how bad Milroe is at throwing


The LSU game proved that if you’re going to play two high safeties and eliminate the homerun, of which he’s been elite at this season, then he’s capable of running the ball at will. The hesitation to tuck it and go is gone now and he runs like a scalded dog. I think Alabama could lose to anyone in the top 8, but I think they could beat anyone in the top 8 too.

Don’t kid yourself, Bama has the most talented defense in the country, and that can show up against anyone.

I would agree with that. Go on to say that Georgia probably wouldn't have to punt.

It’s more complicated than that.

LSU decided to sit back without a spy on many occasions to protect their secondary so Milroe could run for 8-10YPC at will. Why would Bama throw when they’re handing them the opportunity to run the ball and keep their ridiculous offense off the field?

Make no mistake, Milroe is still a frustrating work in progress as a passer, but he’s 10.4 YPA and has a 171 passer rating. That’s top 7 in the country for P5 and second to only Daniels in the SEC.

To put it in perspective Jalen Hurts best season in Tuscaloosa he finished with a 150 rating and was a 139 / 7.3YPA guy his first year as a starter.

The early season data is deceiving people as to how effective the offense has been post USF. I would suspect 2nd half of the season Bama would be a top 10-15 FEI offense, they’re top 25 even with the early season issues factored in.

I’m in no way stating the team is perfect or should be the favorite to win it all, but I wouldn’t underestimate them right now either especially having played the #1 SOS in the nation YTD.
