Yeah, I'd say our schedule is going to be a hurdle, but IF Bama can stay healthy, and enough of these young guys mature through out the season, I think we'll be okay. Def a tough schedule though.:BigA:
Just look at it this way, if we are undefeated or a 1-loss team come december there is no way we can be kept out of the BCSCG. :biggrin:

There's your scenario... although I'd be ecstatic just to see Alabama pull off anything similar to this.
One thing about it, if those 4 teams stay in the top 10 and maybe Tennessee moves up by the time we play them, our low starting out rank won't mean much if we beat them all. Our destiny is in our own hands. Stranger things have happened. But not very often. 
Yeah, I hate it that we will be fielding a pretty good team and have such a tough schedule when we are trying to turn the corner. With the schedule, our win/loss record may really overshadow the gains we have made - I mean the rest of the country looks at wins and losses. Only fans like us really know how much better the program is getting and we may not get credit for the gains we have made. National perception goes a long way in bowl invites and recruiting. On the other hand, it gives us a great opportunity to open some eyes if we pull off a nice little string of wins!!! Roll Tide!

Well,. I for one, am pretty nervous about it because it's pretty fair to say that teams with that kind of experience (them) playing a team with little experience & younger players (us) is probably going to beat us. I hate that the lots of the fans will jump all over Saban as if it's his fault - I just hope that everyone will keep on encouraging the coaches & team so that as Saban's next 2 year's of recrutiing classes come thru & we are then seasoned & talented - that as we're winning again - people will have been patient a little logner & stayed on top of the encouraging end of things rather than the trash-talking.
If we are 12-1 and sec champs, we are in the bcs title game unless there are two undefeated teams. Even then we may get the nod with the schedule we have. But thats putting the cart before the horse, if we can beat the teams we'll be favored against, plus all the tigers we play; we'll have a heck of a year.
I like the tough schedule. Seems like Bama always gets up for the big games and plays well while letting little teams carry them to the final seconds and really makes them look bad resulting in a bad rank in the polls and gets the nay sayers started flapping their gums. If a top ten team beats us it don't look nearly so bad.
