As a Bama fan I have to agree. I was also going nuts just not with the explicit language coming out of my mouth. Plus all of us in the room were so concentrated on the game we never thought about taking video of our reactions. Admittedly I thought we’d lost anyway. My wife left the room on that last play because she couldn’t stand to watch it. This guy is funny but the language in front of his young kids is terrible
No doubt LSU has as equal chance as Bama. I don’t think any actual football fan would disagree. It will be a dog fight. Jayden Daniels probably gives LSU a slight edge over all. I remember watching him beat Oregon a few years ago as a freshman can’t believe he’s now in the SEC. If I knew which Bama team would show up I’d have a better feeling about the game. Bama will have to play a full 60 mins to win this one. One half against LSU won’t cut it.
The Dawgs will run all over Ohio State. Georgia 42 Ohio State 10
I’m not upset that Bama didn’t make the CFP. We didn’t deserve it. Plain and simple. It hurts but it’s the truth. What upsets me most is just give me one scenario ever in the CFP poll at any point in a season where a team lost and didn’t drop in the polls? Bama also lost its first game on the road, also by a field goal to Tennessee and we dropped 4 spots? Ohio state lost its first game last week and they dropped 3 spots. TCU loses to Kansas State and they don’t even drop 1? How is that? Then the CFP Chairman says “We’ll we have no conflicts rematching Ohio State and Michigan” but you directly contradict that by not moving TCU to at least 4 and moving undeserving Ohio State up to 3 so that we get an instant semi final matchup with these two. But still how does TCU lose but not move? In reality at ANY other point in the season if TCU had lost they’d have dropped at least 3 and probably 4 or 5. But the CFP was faced with a reality now that Bama was sitting there at #6. Staring them in the face, their worst nightmare came true. Two of the top 4 teams lost. I’d have loved to been a fly on the wall in that committee this morning. Panic set in and they hated Alabama like the rest of the college football fans. So instead of the poll acting as it has the rest of the polls they just had no idea what to do so they did nothing. In my opinion they lost all credibility today. I’d have had more respect if they’d moved Tennessee up to 4th. But to do nothing is a complete failure. Losing and not dropping also disrespect’s Kansas State. What that says to the Wildcats is, you mean nothing, your win meant nothing as it did no damage to TCU in any way. Tell me I’m wrong?
I think it'll be a very interesting game, certainly the most competitive one in many years. But if the Vols win, obviously I will be pulling for them to win the East so Saban can have a crack at them again in Atlanta. I certainly think the Vols have a legitimate chance to win the East. Georgia has been struggling offensively of late. I'm not sure Stetson can play keep up with Hooker if it comes down to that. But this is the first time in many years the Vols seem well balanced.
I see this strictly as a business decision on his part. First I hate this whole Transfer Portal (free agency) thing anyway, it is ruining the sport we have all loved for years. However, in this situation I think what probably made his mind up was Bennett coming back for another year. Yes Stetson won the Natty, yes he played okay but he is not nor will he ever be an elite passer, he won't play in the NFL and no receivers on his team will be first round picks in the draft. Bama has Bryce Young coming back who threw for almost 5,000 yards his first season starting so Burton sees a chance for him to get 1,000+ yards in receiving and being the GO TO guy on one of the top offensives nationally. I wish he would stay in Georgia just as I wish Sanders had stayed at Alabama as a linebacker. What can you do?
Yea I would have never guessed Cincy could beat Michigan until I watched last night. Michigan was so slow and just lumbering around. That's great for playing in the Big Ten but not the SEC. Cincy would most definitely have been a better matchup against Michigan and would probably beat Michigan. I still don't think Mich and Cincy were top 4 teams but I'm not sure who else could have played better games, Maybe Baylor and Utah????
I love being the underdogs, let's hope that line gets bigger by kickoff. It's clear the two best teams are these two. Georgia "Needs" to win this game more than Alabama, if not just for self respect. Living here in Georgia most of my friends are huge Dawg fans and I know how starved they are for a National Title. I feel sorry for them in a way and another defeat to Alabama will literally crush them. You go all season as the #1 team, crushing everyone in sight, you win 13 games but if they don't win the 14th game what have they won? They will have won nothing but 13 games. They didn't win the SEC title so their backs are against the wall in this game. Bama will come in more relaxed and I still think Bama wins again. We do have Saban and Kirby has a mental block against him. It'll be a better game than last but I believe Bama will just prove once again, they are still top dog in the conference. RTR!
If you don't like it then put up some teams that can actually compete against the SEC top teams! You thought it was Michigan and Cincy but you failed. It's clear where the best teams play, why do you think Texas and Oklahoma quit the Big 12 to jump here? We could have had 12 teams in the playoffs and you would have still had Alabama vs. Georgia this year. Then what are you going to do?
The SEC has got to step it up in bowls, we have 1 win before today 12/31. We must start winning bowls now.
Yea Tennessee got robbed. Now part of it is Tennessee's decision to go for it (which I agreed ) but they could have kicked a field goal as well. It's a risky move but even as a Bama fan, Tennessee got screwed, it's that simple. That was a terrible call and should have been 6.
Yea if any Bama fan takes off their crimson colored glasses and looks realistically at the game, it's easy to see Georgia is the clear best team in America. I was born in Bama, went to college at Bama, played in the MDB, married a Bama girl but not live in Atlanta. I am about as Bama as you can get however I am also a realist. Bama is not a top 5 team, we may make the playoff just because this such a mediocre year for so many teams not called Georgia. But we won't win a repeat of the Natty in 2021, it's okay. Let's beat Auburn, play tough against Georgia and go play a great bowl game and win the Heisman with Bryce. That's nothing to feel badly about. Let Georgia keep the Natty in the SEC!
Yea I mean anyone being honest can see that Georgia is on their way to the Natty. Bama is still reeling from losing so many players last year, you just can't keep playing that level ever year. We are a really good 10-1 team but we aren't national title material in 2021. The CFP poll should come out and say 1. Georgia 2. Ohio State 3. Bama 4. Cincinnati. There just aren't many great teams after Georgia. As long Kirby doesn't make any stupid Kirby mistakes, The Dawgs should bark the 40 year drought.
I would like to see Tom Herman come to Tuscaloosa to be the OC. We go to Austin in 2022 to play the Longhorns it would make a great revenge storyline for Herman to go back as the OC for Bama against Texas.
I could see Mac coming back for another year under his belt. He's only started one season and though it has been an awesome season I think he could use another one to solidify his draft stock. Having said that, I also don't want to lose Bryce, who yes could go to Texas. Remember we play Texas in 2022, the last thing I want is a hot sophomore Bryce Young throwing TD's all over Alabama to get "Texas Back" as a national contender. That would be bad.
I think the biggest problem with Texas is interference from rich boosters who want to do more than just fund the program but have a say in what gets done. The lack of control that the coach has lingers over the program like a dark fog. That's why the last 3-4 coaches have been unable to sustain winning at Texas. Meyer isn't about to walk into a program unless he has full day to day control without outside interference. He's like Saban, it's my way or the highway.
Football is one thing but what really counts are our lives. I would vote for any Auburn man as long as he is conservative, moral and christian. Football is a game but this position protects are way of life. Doug Jones was a criminal and had no business being a senator for Alabama. Congrats Senator Tubberville.
I'd say this will be a defensive low scoring game, really low. I could see a 14-10, 17-7 type game easily. I was not impressed with Bo Nix nor was I impressed with any QB Georgia put out against Arkansas. If there is a difference maker it would be Seth Williams. Seth basically saved Nix by catching anything thrown near him. Nix was not accurate but he did throw near to Williams and Williams saved the day for Auburn. In the end at this point I just see Auburn as the better team overall. So Auburn 17 - Georgia 13
Oops got that backward of course, Auburn 17 - Georgia 13

I think one thing we all have to remember is that this is such a totally different season. There will be more upsets like these especially at the first of the season. No team had spring practice, limited summer workouts and most found out last minute they were having a season so they were scrambling to put together a cohesive team. I don't think this game against Miss State was saying anything about lack of talent at LSU, we all know differently that LSU is loaded. But it does show what little time and lack of practices can do to a less experienced team or a newer team. LSU is still a formidable team don't take them lightly. They will handle Vandy well, probably like 35-14, not last years destruction but good enough to prove LSU isn't a bad team.
Jimbo has to be really concerned after that Vandy win. Yes you got the "W" but they looked terrible doing it. Now I also believe a lot of this awful play just comes from all of the lack of practice time and no spring practices and summer workouts really held back. I think by week 4 and on we will start to see teams starting to play much better. The timing is off with offenses and there are too many penalties but that's just a clear sign of a lack of on field practice time due to Covid protocols. Now this will really be detrimental to Big 10 and Pac 12 schools because by the time everyone else is playing real ball they will just be cranking up. But in the long answer, Texas A&M has the talent we all know that but can they get it together in time before they lose some games?
I would like to have seen North Dakota State at Oregon first week of the season. No one wants to play North Dakota State because they aren’t scared of anyone just ask Wisconsin which learned the hard way. But to me that’s one of the games we lost that I most would have liked to see.
I don't like Urban Meyer but as a coach I'd have to put him at #2, even though he is not active right now, his resume sort of speaks for itself. He was successful at every university he coached. Not many coaches can do that.
Notre Dame is irrelevant in college football. The media wants them to be relevant and every year they rank them way higher than they are qualified to be and then ND goes and proves it on the field. The SEC plans to play all games and if other conferences choose not to play us, let's welcome ND to play some SEC teams this year. Let's see what their record looks like after a full SEC schedule, if they can make it through.
Wow you really don't understand how things work do you? You've been spoon fed the MSNBC and CNN crap to your brain. Trump has done more good for this country than any President since Reagan. Obama about killed us but Trump has been unburying us since he took office. We've had more jobs and more prosperity in the last 4 years than Obama ever dreamed about. I hope we can get 4 more years before the liberal elite try to destroy us all.
Can you imagine SEC Media days now with Kiffin and Leach! Holy Cow it is going to be crazy. The Egg Bowl is going to be must see TV now. The SEC West just became the Big 12 East! LOL
I think it's a given unless he shows he can't compete in spring practice. Tua's brother Taulia is very good too so I feel badly for him. He's shown flashes of greatness the few times he's stepped on the field. I imagine there will be some QB transfers from Alabama in the next 12 months.
