They are going to come in emotional and play hard for rah rah guy. He is Barn through and through. It should not matter but we all know it has been a struggle for Bama in all phases at different times.My heart tells me that a 35 point beat down of Auburn is going to happen, but after some of these other games I am not even sure we will score 35.
@Sgt. Lincoln OsirisI VERY MUCH doubt there will be that much parity but if TCU, MICH, and USC had lost we'd have a shot here. Since neither of those three lost, we have at best 4 teams ahead of us even if MICH loses they'd stay ahead of us. TCU might also. Then it would still be a debate between UT, USC, and us and not sure we'd win that argument considering our wins are all against worse competition and UT and USC would have a few top 25 wins. We'd definitely be looking in from the outside, IMO. This is just not a good year, let's all just move on and hope that we improve dramatically in the off season in a few key areas.
I agree completely with you. I raised the point after the LSU loss that we'd still be in a 12 team playoff. Most on here shot it down because "we'd get stomped & don't deserve to be in the playoffs".We have looked terrible this year, BUT, to be fair, we have list two games by a total of four points, and both on the last plays of the game. Not like we've gotten waxed like Oregon did against Georgia and Clemson did against Notre Dame. I mean, if we can clean up the penalities and keep it below 7 a game, we can play with anybody, still. Be a lot closer than in year's past, but with our roster alone you can't count us out if any game.
-Georgia and their fans want no part of us. Their words, not mine.
-Ohio State and Michigan are eerily quiet this year about Alabama and hoping we don't sneak in.
-TCU, just ain't ready for us.
-USC, read above with TCU.
I've thought of this exact scenario. A lot would have to happen (and more than likely won't) but it's still fun to watch it play out. This stuff is what makes College Football so much fun.@Sgt. Lincoln Osiris
Agree. We really dont look like a NC team...
But...
Uga beats lsu ( ( probably)
Osu-mich One loses in blowout
Tcu loses maybe 2... ( tcu is a paper tiger...really not that good)
nd beat usc....sat nite ( usc is mediocre and still would have to beat am oregon team if they win)
USCe beat Clemson...( after tn game....ummmm)
Just saying its a possibility....lots haveto happen...but lots have happened in past
And you have a bama team...with 2 loses on last plays of game...
Even with all the issues at WR and OC/DC, this has been the difference in blow outs and 2 losses. Heck 7 penalties a game is bad but dang what other team would even be in a game with 17 penatlies much less have a chance to win it? This is why I was hoping we would turn it around but at this point it is what it is.if we can clean up the penalities and keep it below 7 a game, we can play with anybody,
I would not turn it down if it happened but honestly not excited about it because they would have earned it.
We have looked terrible this year, BUT, to be fair, we have list two games by a total of four points, and both on the last plays of the game.
but its not a 3-5 loss team. Sure could hsve been for sureTo play devils advocate… we also won 3 games on the last play of the game. Texas, aTm and ole miss could have been losses and this team could be 6-5 right now.
Now, I’d be happy to be in the playoffs, but this team needs a lot of change to be championship caliber… IMO.

Yeah. Tvu could have multiple losses. EasyYou ain't wrong, but so have Georgia with Missouri and Ohio State with Northwestern, Michigan with Illinois, and TCU with Kansas and Baylor. We take the close ones, ha ha.
The last thing we need to feed the shitty culture of this current team is for next year's returning players to be thinking they can take 2 games off and still slide into the championship race.
