Not this year. They haven't reloaded at WR or their Oline us weak. Remember the big story of the Utah State game was BY rushed for 100 yds. It should've been BY passes for 600 yds.Quote:

11-1 instead of 12-0 with a loss in the Sec championship to go 11-2 but still becomes the first 2 loss team to ever make the CFB playoff
I can see either Arkansas or Tennessee upsetting them this year but winning out like last year.
After going to this twitter feed, I see just below this one, the other post by Jordan Rodgers the gameday discussion where Tebo is asking him to show him who we will beat. Tebo only seems to recognize what he sees as the top historic teams. Actually the network is that way in that they spend so much time covering 6 teams in the conference.

Tebow acted like Jordan predicted Southern Miss to win the national title when Jordan said Mississippi State would beat Texas A&M in StarkvilleQuote:

That prediction isn't a stretch at all, we should be favored.
The Bama WR are similar to what the Cowboys had going other night. BY just doesn't have great options to throw too. Plain and simple. Enjoy the down year, it don't happen much.
Down year as in 11-1?Quote:

I didn't give a win total but they are down talent wise was my point not record. Monster dropoff at WR and lesser on OL. TX exposed them there.Quote:

So Rogers is much better this year than Young on downfield passes.
Them verse arky is going to be really interesting. That?s going to be a top 5 game. Game day will be there. If arky can stay healthy and Jefferson doesn?t get hurt that my be the game that the media will use to say BY is still the heisman or he loses it that game.
Yeah.Quote:

Yes but nothing is wrong with Bama - this is the best team Saban has ever had. That is what people keep telling us.Quote:

I agree with this and was just about to post it. Also, the Bama OL isn't up to their standards. Take a QB, that had all day last year to one that's getting some pressure, and you get a QB that is letting it go quicker....to WR's who are not as open.Quote:

Auburn should've became the first 2 loss team during 2017 but they choked in the SEC title game against Georgia to get the 3rd Loss.
I think there will be so many 1 loss teams come December that this CFB playoff will be the hardest to pick the 4 teams that it has ever been.
a trend that I've seen with bama teams is that the team that is the popular team to upset them , never does and it ends up in a blowoutQuote:

Thats why I think Tennessee finally gets it done in Knoxville this year. Tennessee can score on the ground and in the air. I don't trust Arkansas to win through the air. And Arkansas is hyping themselves up like ole miss did last year.
State has beat Alabama since Tennessee last did
State's last win was 2007
Tennessee's was 2006
My bad. Not trying to start argument. Just thought OL & WR weaker than usual implied more possible losses than years past. Hail State!Quote:

I've never understood how all these all world Bama QBs haven't done anything in the pros, yet every time a new one pops up he's all world. They are all product of the Saban system. Run the ball and have freak athletes at wr. They are all game managers. I had a guy last week tell me Bryce was the next Drew Brees. I'm not sure what he's seeing I'm not.
Maybe they aren't difference makers, but the last 3 bama qbs are starting qbs in the nfl. There's only 32, so that' s unbelievably impressiveQuote:

Corral would've been a top 10 pick at Bama.Quote:

Wow.
