Well he can't say Bama is in trouble because of this - we don't play in the regular season until 2021 - and he doesn't expect them to get to Atlanta again after this year.

According to his posts, AA doesn't expect to have a winning season any year. We all know he's just sandbagging.

Just curious... Did Saban retire or something?

Bama's 24th SEC Championship. Possibly Saban's best coaching job, ever.

Bama will make either Oregon or FSU bite the curb.

That's assuming FSU makes the playoffs. Tech is getting all Pepper Rogers on them so far.

Bama has some holes on defense that a good offense can exploit (see Auburn, West Virginia etc)

They played a lot of not so good offenses lately (Missou, LSU etc)

I think Bama wins the whole thing dont get me wrong - but its a long way from a foregone conclusion.

We won't win game 1, but that's okay. Been a great year.

Nah, you'll beat Wisconsin in Game 1 next year. It won't be a blowout on the order of when you play us, but it'll be impressive.

When we lose to Ohio State, I will be okay. Great season for a rebuilding year.

What the hell is this with you two?

He who fills and stacks the sandbags faster and higher, wins? You two must both be expecting another Katrina to hit Nawlins.

Bama isn't used to the kind of speed that Big Ten teams like tOSUc have.

Another reason the Buckeyes will beat the Tide: historically, tOSUc is invincible against SEC teams in bowls.

We only get 25 more days of this sandbaggery - how will we cope?

Another reason tOSUc will beat Bama: The Buckeyes just ran a brutal gauntlet that is typical of any B10 schedule. How they survived that horror show with only one loss is a miraculous. They are battle-tested, and their championship game proves they are hungry for more.

By contrast, Alabama cruised past a relatively light SEC West schedule. They haven't faced much competition all season, and squeaked by with a series of smoke-and-mirror victories. They're young and therefore new to the Big Game they are about to face, and that will be a mortal disadvantage for the Tide.
