Preseason ranking guesses?
- Thread starter Loam
- Start date
Bama is 109 in experience, so even though they will be losing some A-A talent, there are plenty of youngsters coming up.
Preseason, probably 5 or 6; I mean, Bama lost two games by a total of 13 points and had a chance to win both.
Oregon won't be there because MM will go pro, OSU/TCU will be, but who else will be higher than Bama?

Oregon and Baylor will be Top Ten because they always have Heisman QBs. I think we will be 7 or 8.
Yeah, I would think we would be anywhere from 3-5. We still have a ton of talent and great coaching. We will also pull in another great recruiting class, work hard in the off season, and be ready to go again next year.
1. Ohio State
2. Oregon
3. TCU
4. Alabama
5. Michigan State
6. Baylor
7. Clemson
8. Arizona
9. Georgia
10. Florida State

Bama will probably be near the bottom in experience next year too though. I'd be surprised if Bama was in the top 80 in experience.
Just curious, but could you list the 11 or 12 teams that you think will be ranked above us?
Because we are Alabama and Saban is still our coach I will guess top 10 or even top 5. Given hwt we have coming back it should be about 11 or 12 but we will be higher.
We'll be up there. But Ohio State is going to be #1, no matter what happens in the championship. They'll have their QBs returning (if Miller doesn't transfer) and Oregon won't.
Ohio State
Oregon
TCU
Wisconsin
Michigan State
Baylor
Arizona
Georgia Tech
Georgia
Missouri
Florida State
If they had beaten USC-East I would have Miami here too

The experience ranking (Steele's) doesn't always paint the whole picture. There is emphasis on seniors as well as number of starts on the offensive line. Bama had a true freshman starting on the offensive line which drives the experience ranking down. Losing junior starters to the NFL every year leaves fewer seniors starting which also drives the number down.
There will not be 1 SEC team in top 10 to start next season. The "SEC bias" is officially over. Only Mark May will defend us on ESPN come this fall.
That's not going to happen. Not even close. Even though we will be very inexperienced as a team there's no way this will happen. :smile:
